A sturdy text serif with pronounced stroke contrast, sharp bracketed serifs, and a confident, upright stance. Curves are clean and generously rounded, while joins and terminals stay crisp, giving the design a clear, high-ink presence at display sizes. Proportions lean broad, with ample internal counters and a steady baseline rhythm; the lowercase shows traditional forms with a two-storey a and g and compact, solid serifs that keep word shapes cohesive.
This face performs best where a classic serif voice and strong presence are desirable—headlines, book and article titles, editorial pull quotes, and formal branding. Its substantial strokes and crisp serifs help it hold up in larger sizes and in situations where typographic authority is important.
The overall tone reads traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that feels suited to established institutions. Its contrast and crisp finishing add a touch of drama and ceremony, making it feel refined rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional, classic serif for confident communication, balancing traditional letterforms with enough contrast and width to deliver impact in display and editorial settings.
The numerals appear robust and clear, with open shapes and strong vertical emphasis that matches the capitals. In the sample text, the weight and contrast create strong typographic color and prominent emphasis, especially in headings and short lines.
