A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a predominantly vertical stress. The letterforms are generously proportioned with strong, bracketed serifs and confident, square-shouldered joins, giving the design a solid typographic color in paragraphs. Round glyphs show restrained modulation and occasional ball-like terminals, while the lowercase includes a two-storey a and g with compact apertures and steady rhythm. Numerals appear sturdy with classic proportions and noticeable thick–thin transitions, reading clearly at display and text sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, including magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and book typography. The weight and contrast also make it effective for formal branding and collateral that needs a traditional, institutional tone.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that feels comfortable in established publishing contexts. Its bold presence and conventional structure convey confidence and reliability rather than minimalism or playfulness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-impact text serif that balances readability with a strong, classic presence. Its sturdy serifs, controlled contrast, and familiar lowercase construction suggest a focus on dependable publishing use with enough weight for confident display settings.
Counters are moderate and slightly tight in the heaviest areas, which enhances density and punch in headings. The design maintains consistent serif treatment across capitals and lowercase, supporting an even baseline and a composed texture in multi-line setting.
