A robust serif with bracketed terminals and a sturdy, compact build. Strokes are strongly weighted with moderate contrast and clear, slightly cupped/bracketed serifs that create a confident, traditional rhythm. The capitals are broad and stable with generous bowls and a prominent crossbar structure, while the lowercase shows a rounded, readable skeleton with a single-storey g, a compact e, and a relatively short, sturdy r. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel (with varied widths and lively curves) and sit comfortably alongside the text, reinforcing a classic, editorial texture.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book pages, magazines, and long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, title treatments, and formal materials like invitations or certificates where a traditional, authoritative tone is beneficial.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, evoking established print typography and institutional credibility. Its heavy presence and crisp serif detailing give it a formal, authoritative voice suited to content that aims to feel enduring and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented text serif with a firm, confident weight and familiar proportions. Its bracketed serifs, stable capitals, and readable lowercase suggest an aim for dependable legibility paired with a classic, authoritative character.
In running text the face forms a dark, consistent color with clear word shapes, helped by open counters and decisive terminals. The design’s sturdy serifs and compact proportions make it particularly effective when set large, while still reading cleanly at typical text sizes.
