A robust text serif with generous proportions and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions and rounded joins, producing a sturdy, even texture at display and text sizes. Letterforms are relatively open, with wide bowls and counters, and terminals often finish with subtle beaks and soft flare. The lowercase maintains a balanced, workmanlike construction, while capitals are broad and stable with strong horizontal serifs and confident verticals.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a sturdy serif texture is needed, including magazines, books, and long-form articles. The strong weight also supports impactful headings, pull quotes, and packaging or branding contexts that benefit from a classic, established voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial, bookish character. Its weight and broad stance give it a confident presence that reads as institutional and dependable rather than delicate or ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly legible serif with extra emphasis and presence, balancing traditional detailing with a broad, readable structure for modern editorial use.
Numerals are heavy and highly legible, with clear differentiation and strong baseline stability. The face favors solidity over finesse, making it feel comfortable in dense settings while still carrying enough personality for headlines.
