A sturdy serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and pronounced stroke contrast that reads clearly at display and text sizes. The letterforms are upright with generous proportions and broad capitals; curves are round and full, while joins and terminals stay crisp. Lowercase shows traditional, text-oriented construction with a two-storey a, a compact, single-storey g with a strong ear, and a robust, looped descender on q. Numerals are lining and weighty, with classic serifed structure and a prominent foot on 1.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and title pages where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for short passages and pull quotes, and for branding in contexts that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, leaning toward editorial and institutional typography. Its weight and contrast give it a sense of seriousness and permanence, with a familiar bookish voice rather than a decorative one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with extra weight for strong presence and clear hierarchy. It emphasizes familiar proportions and dependable readability while providing enough contrast and serif detail to feel refined in print-like settings.
Spacing appears open enough to keep heavy strokes from clogging, and the rhythm stays steady across mixed-case text. The ampersand is compact and bold, matching the font’s strong presence, and the punctuation holds up cleanly at the shown size.
