A robust text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that soften the joins while keeping edges crisp. The letterforms have compact, weighty counters and a steady baseline presence, with rounded transitions and occasional ball terminals that add warmth to otherwise solid, ink-trap-free shapes. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and moderately wide, while the lowercase maintains a conventional rhythm with sturdy stems and clear, open apertures in forms like c and e. Numerals show oldstyle behavior, with varying heights and descenders that integrate naturally into running text.
Well-suited for book typography and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif texture is desired, especially at text and subhead sizes. The weight and contrast also help it perform in headlines, pull quotes, and magazine layouts that need a confident, classic presence.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and seriousness without feeling overly ornate. Its strong contrast and confident heft give it a slightly dramatic, bookish voice suited to traditional publishing and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast reading serif that balances traditional forms with sturdy, contemporary heft. It aims to deliver a recognizable bookish texture, reliable readability, and a strong typographic voice for editorial hierarchy.
Stroke endings and serifs are consistently bracketed, creating a smooth, engraved-like finish rather than a sharp, modern one. The italic is not shown; all samples present a steady roman texture with strong vertical stress and controlled spacing that reads as deliberate and formal.
