A robust text serif with strong vertical stress and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with sturdy stems, tapered joins, and crisp terminals that stay controlled at display sizes. Proportions are fairly traditional with moderate x-height, rounded bowls that feel weighty, and slightly condensed counters that keep the texture dense. Numerals and capitals read stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains a disciplined rhythm with firm serifs and compact curves.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a strong, classical serif voice is desired. It can also serve in book typography and formal brand systems that benefit from a dense, authoritative text color. The sturdy serifs and clear contrast make it effective for print-forward applications and prominent typographic statements.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, evoking established publishing and institutional credibility. Its sharp, weighty forms feel serious and declarative, with a distinctly editorial character that suits formal messaging. The high-contrast detailing adds a touch of refinement without tipping into delicacy.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional, time-tested serif tone with heightened firmness and contrast for impactful reading. It prioritizes a stable rhythm, classic proportions, and a confident presence for editorial and institutional typography.
In paragraphs the font produces a dark, even typographic color, driven by heavy verticals and tight interior spaces. The italic is not shown; all samples reflect an upright roman with a consistent, classical serif vocabulary across cases and figures.
