A conventional serif with pronounced stroke contrast, bracketed serifs, and a steady, vertical stance. The letters show robust thick strokes paired with fine hairlines, producing sharp internal shapes and a clear typographic rhythm. Counters are moderately open, curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall silhouette feels compact and weighty without becoming slab-like.
Well suited to editorial design such as magazines, newspapers, and long-form articles, especially for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and title treatments. It also fits formal branding contexts—law, finance, education, and cultural institutions—where a classic serif tone supports credibility. The numerals and uppercase forms make it appropriate for cover lines, signage, and typographic posters that need a strong, traditional look.
This typeface conveys a formal, editorial tone with a confident, authoritative presence. Its crisp contrast and traditional proportions give it a classic, bookish feeling that reads as established and trustworthy rather than trendy.
The design appears intended for serious text and display settings where a traditional serif voice and strong emphasis are desired. Its high contrast and firm serifs suggest a focus on refined typography that remains clear and stable at larger sizes and in prominent headings.
The uppercase set shows a strong classical structure with crisp terminals and noticeable thick–thin transitions, while the lowercase maintains familiar text-serif forms with sturdy stems and clear joins. Figures appear lining with similarly strong contrast, matching the overall assertive texture in continuous text.
