A sturdy text serif with pronounced bracketed serifs, vertical stress, and clear thick–thin modulation. Uppercase forms are compact and firmly proportioned, while the lowercase shows a moderate x-height with rounded bowls and strongly articulated joins. Serifs are crisp but not slabby, with tapered ends and consistent bracketing that produces an even line. Numerals and capitals carry a solid, slightly condensed presence, supporting a dense, traditional typographic color in paragraphs.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as books, magazines, and newspaper-style layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve confidently in headings, pull quotes, and section titles thanks to its sturdy weight and crisp serif detailing.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an editorial gravitas that feels established and trustworthy. Its bold presence reads as confident and slightly old-style in flavor, lending a refined, traditional voice to headlines and text alike.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a strong, authoritative color and classical proportions, balancing readability with a more emphatic, headline-capable presence.
Stroke contrast is noticeable without becoming delicate, keeping counters open and edges sharp at display sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a steady upright rhythm with strong word shapes and distinct punctuation.
