A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that feel carved and deliberate. Uppercase proportions are broad with steady vertical stress, while bowls and counters stay relatively open for a dense, ink-rich look. The lowercase shows compact joins and confident terminals, with a two-storey “g” and strong, rounded forms that keep rhythm even in long lines. Numerals are sturdy and classical in tone, matching the text color and contrast of the letters.
Works well for editorial typography where a firm, traditional serif voice is needed—magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading at moderate sizes. The weight and contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and display lines where a strong, classic presence is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and seriousness with a distinctly traditional book type feel. Its strong contrast and substantial stems give it a confident presence suited to established institutions and print-forward design.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif with added weight and contrast to provide strong presence in print and editorial settings, balancing readability with a stately, traditional character.
Spacing appears comfortable for text, producing a dark, even typographic color in paragraphs. Details like the angled leg on the “R,” the firm crossbars, and the round punctuation reinforce a conservative, refined aesthetic without becoming ornate.
