A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes resolve into sharp, triangular-looking terminals on many capitals, while lowercase forms show compact bowls and firm vertical stress. Counters are moderately tight and the overall rhythm is dense, giving the text a strong color on the page. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a consistent, upright roman with assertive punctuation and sturdy numerals.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong serif voice is desirable, especially for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes. It can also serve for book-cover titling and magazine display work where dense texture and crisp contrast help maintain impact at larger sizes.
The font conveys a classic, editorial seriousness with an old-style bookish flavor. Its strong contrast and emphatic serifs create an authoritative, headline-ready tone while still reading as conventional and familiar in longer passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with extra emphasis and presence, pairing traditional letterforms with heightened contrast and strong terminals for confident display use.
Lowercase details lean toward traditional text-serif conventions: a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a “g” with a clearly defined ear, all contributing to a slightly compressed, weighty texture. The numerals appear robust and well anchored, matching the uppercase presence without looking delicate.
