A compact serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a dark overall color. Strokes are relatively even with modest modulation, producing a confident, high-ink texture in both display sizes and continuous text. Capitals feel broad-shouldered and stable, while the lowercase shows classic proportions with a two-storey “a” and “g,” rounded bowls, and firm vertical stress. Terminals and joins are clean and conservative, and the numerals share the same weighty, traditional construction for consistent rhythm.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and other long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. The sturdy weight and compact proportions also make it effective for headlines, subheads, and institutional materials that benefit from a formal, established tone. It can work in packaging or branding contexts when a classic, heritage-leaning impression is needed.
The face reads as classic and dependable, with a slightly old-style, bookish seriousness. Its dense texture and conventional detailing lend it an authoritative, editorial tone that suggests established print traditions.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, highly legible serif with a strong text color and a familiar, print-forward presence. The emphasis appears to be on reliability and readability with enough weight to hold up in demanding editorial and headline settings.
Spacing appears tight-to-moderate, contributing to a compact rhythm, while counters remain sufficiently open to keep the heavier weight from clogging in larger paragraphs. The overall impression is cohesive and conventional rather than stylized, with details tuned for steady, readable text color.
