A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply finished, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show compact, well-contained counters and a steady vertical stress, giving the text a dense, even rhythm. Capitals are broad and weighty with strong horizontals, while the lowercase has a workmanlike structure: rounded bowls are tightly drawn, terminals are crisp, and curves resolve cleanly into the serifs. Figures are similarly robust, with clear differentiation and a consistent, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and other long-form reading contexts where a classic serif texture is desirable. The weight and contrast also make it effective for titles, chapter heads, pull quotes, and formal branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is classic and institutional, projecting confidence and seriousness. Its strong contrast and firm serifs suggest a traditional, book-and-newspaper voice that feels established rather than trendy. The effect is sober and dependable, with an assertive presence in headlines and a formal demeanor in running text.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with enough weight to hold its own in print-heavy compositions. Its restrained detailing and consistent proportions prioritize a familiar reading experience while providing strong typographic hierarchy for editorial use.
In the sample text, the darker color and compact counters create a prominent typographic “ink” presence, especially at larger sizes where the contrast and serif details read cleanly. The shapes remain controlled and conventional, emphasizing clarity and hierarchy over ornament.
