A robust serif with strongly bracketed serifs, pronounced stroke modulation, and a sturdy, print-oriented rhythm. The letterforms are broad and generously proportioned, with crisp verticals and rounded joins that keep the shapes from feeling brittle. Counters are open and the weight is carried confidently through stems and bowls, while terminals frequently resolve into soft, ball-like endings in the lowercase. The numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and subtle descenders that integrate smoothly with text.
Works well for magazine and newspaper-style typography, book typography, and other long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong weight and broad proportions also suit display settings such as headlines, posters, and institutional or heritage branding where presence and gravitas are important.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and familiarity without feeling ornate. Its broad stance and emphatic serifs give it a confident, institutional voice suited to serious content and traditional branding.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional, highly legible serif with a confident, traditional character—strong enough for display while retaining the familiar structure and spacing needed for continuous text.
In longer text the face reads with a steady, slightly dark color, aided by wide capitals and prominent serifs that reinforce horizontal flow. The lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic flavor through its rounded terminals and modulation, adding warmth to an otherwise formal structure.
