This serif shows sturdy, strongly bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are broad-shouldered with relatively open counters and a steady, upright rhythm. Terminals are crisp and mostly horizontal or gently curved, with a classic double-storey structure evident in forms like “a” and “g.” Overall spacing reads even and comfortable, supporting dense text while keeping a solid, emphatic texture.
It performs especially well in headlines, deck copy, and editorial settings where a firm, classic serif voice is desirable. The broad proportions and clear modulation also make it suitable for book typography at moderate sizes, as well as branding systems that need a traditional, established feel.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial gravitas that feels suited to established institutions. Its strong vertical presence and crisp serifs convey seriousness and confidence, while the broad forms keep it approachable rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, dependable serif with strong presence—balancing classic proportions and bracketed serifs with a robust, contemporary weight for impactful reading and display use.
Capitals have a monumental, inscription-like steadiness, and the numerals share the same robust, traditional coloring. The italic is not shown; the samples emphasize a consistent roman voice with clear word shapes and a dark, print-forward presence.
