A robust text serif with sturdy proportions, bracketed serifs, and a pronounced, print-like rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation without becoming delicate, with strong vertical emphasis and confident, blocky terminals that keep counters open at display and text sizes. The lowercase is compact and workmanlike, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a firmly modeled “e,” and a relatively short “t” crossbar, creating an even, steady texture in paragraphs. Numerals appear traditional and weighty, matching the letterforms with consistent serif treatment and solid, readable shapes.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a firm, traditional serif texture is desired. Its sturdy construction also supports headings, pull quotes, and institutional or academic materials that benefit from a confident, authoritative presence.
The overall tone is classic and institutional, projecting authority and seriousness rather than softness or whimsy. It feels at home in contexts that call for credibility—more bookish and newsroom-like than fashionable or experimental.
The design intention appears focused on delivering a conventional, dependable serif for reading and editorial work, pairing traditional shapes with enough weight to maintain presence in print-like settings and strong typographic hierarchy.
The face presents a slightly condensed, high-ink color on the page, with strong capitals that anchor headings and emphatic phrases. Letterforms prioritize clarity and sturdiness, producing a dense but controlled typographic voice in continuous text.
