A robust serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a pronounced, high-ink texture. Strokes are strongly weighted with moderate contrast and gently rounded transitions, creating a confident, even rhythm across lines. Proportions lean broad in the capitals and numerals, while the lowercase maintains compact counters and a steady, readable silhouette; terminals tend toward wedge-like or softly tapered forms rather than sharp hairlines. Overall spacing reads generous and stable, supporting solid word shapes in continuous text.
Well suited to editorial headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also serve longer-form reading in print-oriented layouts that benefit from a darker, more assertive texture. The design’s solidity makes it effective for institutional communications, classic branding, and typographic systems that rely on clear hierarchy.
The font conveys a traditional, authoritative tone suited to established institutions and editorial voice. Its heavy presence and classic serif detailing suggest seriousness and credibility rather than delicacy or whimsy. In display sizes it feels headline-ready and declarative, while in paragraphs it maintains a classic bookish character.
Likely drawn to deliver a conventional, dependable serif with enough weight to perform in prominent settings while remaining grounded in traditional text-serif forms. The emphasis appears to be on strong presence, stable rhythm, and familiar letter shapes that read confidently across a range of sizes.
Capitals show a conventional Roman construction with firm horizontals and consistent serif treatment, while the lowercase exhibits sturdy stems and relatively small apertures that darken the page color. Numerals appear similarly weighty and emphatic, matching the text color well. The overall impression is a dense, confident text serif intended to hold up under strong typographic emphasis.
