A sturdy text serif with pronounced stroke contrast and generously proportioned, slightly expanded letterforms. Serifs are bracketed and triangular-leaning, with crisp terminals and confident, vertical stress in rounded shapes. The capitals are broad and weighty with stable proportions, while the lowercase shows a conventional structure with compact joins and a clear, readable rhythm; details like the two-story “a” and “g” reinforce its traditional text-serif build. Numerals are strong and legible, with old-fashioned styling cues and ample interior space that holds up at display sizes.
It performs well where a strong, classic serif presence is needed—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography. The robust forms and clear counters also make it suitable for editorial layouts and formal printed materials that benefit from a traditional, high-impact text serif.
The overall tone feels authoritative and traditional, with a distinctly editorial voice. Its weight and contrast add seriousness and presence, evoking book typography, institutional branding, and classic print settings rather than casual or playful contexts.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, print-oriented serif voice with heightened presence: wide, stable proportions paired with crisp bracketed serifs and high-contrast strokes. The intention seems to balance tradition and impact, producing a confident page color for editorial and display use.
Spacing appears comfortable and even in the text sample, supporting dense paragraphs without looking airy. The design favors firm verticals and decisive serifs, creating a dark, steady color on the page that reads as confident and conventional.
