A robust serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and a compact, dense footprint. Strokes are fairly even but with noticeable modulation, producing strong typographic color at text sizes. Curves are generously rounded and bowls are full, while joins and shoulders stay smooth rather than sharp, giving the face a slightly softened texture despite its weight. Counters are moderate and the overall rhythm is steady, with sturdy horizontals and confident verticals that read clearly in continuous text.
It performs well for headlines and subheads where a strong serif voice is needed, and it can also support editorial and long-form reading when a darker page tone is acceptable. The even, sturdy numerals and clear letterforms make it a good option for newsletters, program notes, and text-heavy layouts that benefit from a traditional serif presence.
The font projects a classic, editorial seriousness with a warm, slightly old-style friendliness. Its heavy presence and softened details feel authoritative without becoming stark, making it well suited to traditional, information-forward typography.
The design appears intended as a dependable text serif with extra heft, balancing conventional proportions with softened, bracketed serifs to maintain readability while delivering a confident, classic tone.
Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains a compact, workmanlike cadence. Numerals appear weighty and legible, matching the text color closely for consistent inline use.
