A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show sturdy vertical stems, tapered joins, and subtly modulated curves that give counters a slightly teardrop feel in places. Capitals are wide and steady with confident horizontals, while the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with a moderate x-height and rounded bowls; details like the two-storey a, compact e, and beaked terminals on letters such as c and f reinforce the conventional text-serifs structure. Numerals are weighty and clear, with strong vertical stress and firm serifs that keep them aligned with the overall texture.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a classic serif voice is needed, including magazine features, book typography, and formal communications. Its strong weight and contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and wordmarks that benefit from a traditional, authoritative presence.
The tone is traditional and institutional, leaning toward bookish seriousness rather than charm or play. Its heavy color on the page reads confident and established, with an editorial gravity suited to formal messaging.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, readable serif with elevated contrast and firm detailing, delivering a classic print-like texture with enough weight to hold up in prominent sizes. It prioritizes a familiar literary tone, stable proportions, and crisp finishing for confident typography.
At text sizes it produces a dense, even typographic color, with punctuation and dots appearing noticeably solid. The shapes favor clarity and stability over delicacy, making it feel more like a workhorse text face than a display experiment.
