A sturdy serif with compact, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are wide-set with generous counters and a steady vertical axis, giving the text a solid, planted rhythm. Serifs read as crisp and slightly flared at terminals, while joins and curves are smoothly bracketed, producing a conventional, book-oriented texture at paragraph sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book text, and pull quotes where a firm serif texture is desirable. The weight and width also make it effective for headlines and poster-style statements, and it can serve branding or packaging that benefits from a classic, authoritative typographic presence.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, leaning toward an editorial and institutional feel. Its weight and contrast convey seriousness and emphasis without feeling ornamental, suggesting a dependable, print-centric voice.
The design appears aimed at a conventional text serif with extra visual strength—prioritizing clarity, stability, and a familiar reading rhythm while providing enough presence to carry display sizes confidently.
Capitals appear robust and balanced, with clear differentiation in forms like I/J and O/Q for legibility. Lowercase shows a familiar two-storey a and g, with sturdy stems and open apertures that keep counters readable in dense settings. Numerals are strong and evenly proportioned, matching the text color of the letters for cohesive running figures.
