A sturdy text serif with pronounced stroke contrast and strongly bracketed serifs that read clearly at display sizes. The letterforms are compact and weighty, with generous, rounded main curves and relatively tight internal counters. Terminals often finish in soft balls or teardrop shapes, adding a slightly calligraphic accent to an otherwise conventional construction. Proportions feel moderately wide in the capitals, while the lowercase maintains a solid, even rhythm and a comparatively large x-height for its style.
It suits headlines, deck copy, book and magazine titling, and other editorial contexts where a traditional serif voice is needed with extra weight for impact. It can also work for brand wordmarks and packaging that want a classic, established tone with strong presence.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with a distinctly editorial presence. Its heavy color and crisp serifs convey authority and seriousness, while the rounded terminals introduce a mild warmth that keeps it from feeling austere.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif pushed toward stronger headline utility, emphasizing legibility through clear serifs and robust strokes while adding character via rounded, ball-like terminals.
The font’s heavy vertical stress and compact apertures create a dense typographic color, especially in words with many rounds. Numerals appear sturdy and old-style in spirit, matching the texty serif structure and maintaining consistent weight with the letters.
