A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, strong vertical stress, and crisp, high-contrast stroke modulation. Capitals are broad and sturdy with flat, well-defined terminals and squared-off counters that keep the texture steady at display sizes. Lowercase forms are compact and readable, with a two-storey “a,” a clear two-storey “g,” and a sturdy, bracketed “t,” producing an even rhythm in words. Numerals are clear and traditional, with ample interior space and consistent serif treatment that aligns with the text forms.
Works well for editorial layouts, long-form reading, and institutional or corporate documents where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong capitals and contrast also make it suitable for headlines, title treatments, and refined branding applications that need a traditional, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and seriousness without feeling ornamental. Its contrast and deliberate, formal detailing suggest a classic print lineage suited to composed, text-forward design.
Likely designed as a familiar, versatile text serif that balances readability with a formal, print-oriented character, providing a dependable typographic voice for both running text and prominent titles.
Round letters show slightly squarish shaping that lends a structured, engraved-like feel, while diagonals (such as in V/W/X) stay sharp and controlled. Spacing appears comfortable and consistent, supporting clean paragraph color in the sample text.
