A conventional text serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a noticeably contrasty stroke profile. The letterforms lean on broad proportions and open counters, with rounded joins and smooth modulation that reads as refined rather than geometric. Terminals often finish with subtle teardrop/ball shapes (notably in the lowercase), while capitals show strong, confident horizontals and carefully shaped curves. Numerals follow the same robust, print-oriented construction, with clear differentiation and stable alignment on the baseline.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also support short passages, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from a traditional, print-like texture with clear character definition.
The overall tone is confident and establishment-minded, with an editorial gravitas that feels suited to traditional publishing. Its broad, contrasty forms project seriousness and clarity, suggesting a classic, institutional voice rather than a casual or experimental one.
Likely designed to provide a dependable, traditional serif for publishing and display use, balancing classic details with a strong, modernized heft. The emphasis appears to be on authoritative presence and legibility through open counters, clear terminals, and consistent serif treatment.
In the text sample, the rhythm is steady and compact enough for continuous reading, while the wider set and heavy color create strong presence at display sizes. The lowercase shows familiar book-face cues (two-storey a and g, pronounced serifs, and rounded terminals), supporting a readable, conventional texture.
