A sturdy serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thick stems and finer hairlines, and the shapes maintain a firm, upright posture. Counters are relatively compact, while curves (notably in C, G, O, S, and lowercase bowls) are generously rounded, creating a weighty but controlled rhythm. The lowercase features a two-storey a and g, a compact e with a defined horizontal bar, and a distinctive ball terminal on f; overall spacing reads stable and text-oriented.
It suits editorial typography where a strong, traditional texture is desired, performing well in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes. The robust serifs and compact counters also make it a good fit for book typography at moderate sizes, as well as premium packaging and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that feels established and dependable. Its weight and contrast project confidence and formality, leaning toward classic book-and-newspaper typography rather than casual or playful uses.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with elevated contrast and a firm, confident presence. It balances classic proportions with bold, print-forward color to remain impactful in display sizes while retaining a disciplined text rhythm.
The numerals are heavy and highly legible, with clear, old-style-inspired curvature in figures like 2, 3, and 5, and a notably strong 8 and 9. Capitals have a confident, slightly condensed feel in some widths, with clear serifs and restrained detailing that keeps the texture consistent across long passages.
