A sturdy serif with broad proportions, heavy stems, and minimal stroke modulation. Serifs are prominent and generally bracketed, with occasional wedge-like shaping and slightly flared terminals that add a carved, print-like feel. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, giving the face a dense, confident color in text. Lowercase forms show traditional detailing—noticeable foot serifs, small spur-like features, and occasional ball terminals—while the numerals are similarly weighty and built for display clarity.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent text where its weight and broad stance can project authority. It can also work for editorial display, book covers, and packaging that want a traditional serif voice with added personality and firmness on the page.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, balancing classic bookish cues with a slightly rugged, old-style print flavor. It feels serious and established, with enough distinctive terminal shaping to read as characterful rather than strictly neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif impression with extra emphasis and presence, using substantial serifs and compact counters to create a bold, print-forward texture. Its detailing suggests a goal of combining conventional readability with a distinctive, slightly vintage display character.
In the sample text the type sets with a strong, even rhythm and a dark typographic color, making it stand out at larger sizes. The combination of wide letterforms and large serifs helps maintain presence, while the tight inner spaces suggest careful use of spacing and size for optimal readability.
