A sturdy serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and a compact, compactly proportioned silhouette. Strokes are confidently weighted with moderate modulation and smooth, rounded joins, giving counters a calm, open feel despite the heavy color. Capitals are broad and stable, while lowercase forms show traditional construction with a two-storey “a” and “g,” clear apertures, and slightly tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same robust rhythm and sit comfortably alongside text, contributing to an even, print-forward texture.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. The strong presence also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and institutional or academic branding that benefits from a dependable, classic tone.
The overall tone is classic and institutional, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its weight and firmly shaped serifs add authority and seriousness, while the gentle bracketing keeps it from feeling sharp or brittle.
The design reads as a contemporary take on conventional text serifs: built to deliver a solid, authoritative page color, dependable readability, and a familiar typographic voice across both display and text settings.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep dark strokes from clogging in text, producing a steady horizontal rhythm. The letterforms lean on conventional proportions and familiar details, prioritizing legibility and a composed page color over novelty.
