A robust text serif with pronounced stroke contrast and firmly bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a classical, slightly oldstyle construction: round characters are generously open, verticals are steady, and curves transition smoothly into stems. Uppercase proportions feel stately and compact, while lowercase forms have a solid, readable rhythm with clear counters and a sturdy baseline. Numerals follow the same serifed, high-contrast logic and read confidently at display and text sizes.
Well suited for book and long-form reading, editorial layouts, and print typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively in headlines and subheads, where its contrast and bracketed serifs add definition and a traditional, institutional presence.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a bookish, editorial feel. It reads as established and trustworthy rather than experimental, conveying a sense of formality and heritage suited to conventional typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif for general-purpose publishing, balancing strong typographic color with familiar, classical proportions. Its sturdy serifs and crisp contrast suggest an emphasis on clarity and authority across both text and display settings.
Spacing appears even and controlled, supporting continuous reading. Serifs and terminals are consistently shaped, giving the design a cohesive texture across mixed case and numerals, with enough contrast to add crispness without feeling delicate.
