A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a steady, slightly calligraphic modulation in the strokes. The forms are broad and confident, with generous bowls and sturdy verticals that create a dark, even typographic color in text. Terminals tend to finish with pronounced serif feet and small spur-like details, and the curves are smooth rather than sharply angular. Uppercase proportions feel classical and stable, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and straightforward construction for continuous reading.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a strong serif voice and stable texture are desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is formal and dependable, suggesting an established, bookish voice. Its weight and firm serifs give it an authoritative presence that reads as traditional and editorial rather than trendy or experimental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-legibility serif with enough weight and presence to perform both in text and in prominent typographic roles. Its emphasis on bracketed serifs, balanced proportions, and consistent stroke behavior suggests a focus on familiar readability and classic print sensibility.
In the sample text, the heavier presence and strong serifs hold up well at display sizes, and the consistent rhythm of stems and bowls helps paragraphs feel structured and grounded. Numerals appear sturdy and old-style in feel, matching the text emphasis and reinforcing a classic, print-oriented impression.
