A robust serif with bracketed serifs, pronounced stroke modulation, and a solid, text-forward build. The proportions are slightly expanded with generous counters and steady vertical stress, producing a clear, open texture in paragraphs. Terminals and serifs feel crisp and traditional rather than geometric, and the overall rhythm is even and confident with firmly anchored stems and well-defined joins.
It performs well in editorial contexts such as magazines, long-form articles, and book typography where a classic serif texture is desired. The weight and presence also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand systems that need a traditional, confident voice.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone with a sense of authority and tradition. Its strong presence and clear modulation lend it a dignified, bookish voice that feels suited to established institutions and polished publishing.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a strong, contemporary print feel—balancing traditional serif detailing with ample width and clear counters for assertive readability in both headlines and continuous text.
In the sample text, the type holds a dark, consistent color with clear word shapes and sturdy punctuation. Numerals appear sturdy and readable at display sizes, matching the strong, traditional character of the letters.
