A robust serif with clear stroke modulation and bracketed serifs that read as crisp and print-oriented. The capitals are wide and steady with confident verticals and compact, well-contained counters, while the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with moderately tall ascenders and rounded bowls. Curves terminate cleanly into serifs, and interior spaces stay open enough for readability even at heavier text sizes, giving the face a solid, conventional texture on the line. Numerals follow the same sturdy, slightly calligraphic logic, with noticeable contrast between thick stems and finer joins.
It performs well in editorial typography—headlines, subheads, and pull quotes—where a sturdy serif voice is desired. The consistent, traditional construction also suits book and magazine text, as well as branding or institutional materials that benefit from a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition rather than novelty. Its strong presence and familiar bookish shapes feel suited to established institutions and serious reading contexts.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, print-first serif that balances strong presence with dependable readability. It aims to evoke established typographic tradition through bracketed serifs, controlled contrast, and familiar proportions.
In the sample text, the letterforms create a dark, even color with clear word shapes and stable spacing, emphasizing impact and clarity. The contrast and serif detailing become more evident at larger sizes, where the face takes on a confident display-text feel without losing its conventional text-serif manners.
