A sturdy serif with pronounced bracketed serifs, strong vertical stress, and clear thick–thin modulation. The letterforms feel broad and well-supported, with ample counters in rounds like O and C, and a slightly compact rhythm in the lowercase that keeps lines dense and cohesive. Terminals are crisp and conventional rather than calligraphic, and the numerals share the same confident, weighty construction with firm feet and clear differentiation.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a classic serif voice and strong typographic color are desirable. It can also support book covers, mastheads, and brand systems that want traditional credibility, especially in print-forward layouts.
The overall tone is classic and assured, projecting a bookish, institutional voice. Its heavy presence reads as serious and dependable, with a traditional flavor suited to authoritative messaging rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif interpretation with added strength and presence, balancing familiar proportions and bracketed serifs with a heavier, more declarative texture for impactful composition.
In the text sample, the weight creates strong color on the page and emphasizes word shapes, while the relatively large serifs and pronounced contrast add definition at display and subhead sizes. The design maintains a consistent, orthodox serif grammar across capitals, lowercase, and figures, yielding a stable, familiar reading experience.
