A sturdy serif with generous weight and clearly bracketed serifs that soften into the stems. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation with a firm, slightly compressed presence and a steady baseline rhythm. Counters are relatively small for the weight, with rounded joins and terminals that keep the texture cohesive in paragraph settings. The lowercase has a workmanlike build—compact bowls, short-to-moderate extenders, and conventional two-storey forms—while numerals are heavy and stable, matching the overall color.
Well suited to magazines, newspapers, and book typography where a classic serif voice and strong presence are desired. It can also serve for impactful headings, pull quotes, and brand applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone.
The font reads as classic and dependable, with an editorial gravitas that feels suited to established institutions. Its dense, inky texture projects confidence and seriousness, leaning more traditional than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif texture with added heft for emphasis, prioritizing readability and a familiar editorial character while maintaining a cohesive, durable page color.
In the sample text, the face maintains an even typographic color and strong word shapes, with serifs and brackets contributing to a smooth flow despite the substantial weight. The overall impression is of a pragmatic, print-oriented serif designed to hold up at text sizes while still delivering emphatic headlines.
