A robust serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a relatively low-stress, oldstyle-leaning construction. Strokes are heavy and confident with moderate modulation, and terminals tend to be slightly tapered rather than blunt. Counters are compact but clear, giving the face a dense, emphatic texture in text. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a compact e with a firm horizontal bar, and a crisp, slightly calligraphic tail on Q; numerals are solid and strongly shaped with traditional proportions.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and content that benefits from a traditional, trustworthy voice. The substantial stroke weight also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications where a classic serif presence is desired, including packaging and identity systems.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking printed books, newspapers, and institutional typography. Its weight and compact rhythm add a sense of seriousness and conviction, while the bracketed serifs keep it grounded in familiar, literary conventions.
This design appears intended as a conventional, workhorse serif with a stronger-than-average presence—aiming to deliver familiar readability while adding punch and authority through heavier strokes and compact, well-bracketed detailing.
In the sample text, the face produces a dark, even color with strong word shapes and clear punctuation. The spacing appears moderately tight, reinforcing an economical, editorial feel and making the design read as deliberate and confident at display and text sizes alike.
