A sturdy serif with bracketed, slightly beaked terminals and a confident, weighty presence. Strokes are broad and steady with moderate modulation, producing clear vertical emphasis and a compact internal rhythm despite generous overall set. Uppercase forms feel classical and stable, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls, open apertures, and a two-storey “g” with a prominent ear; several joins and terminals finish in subtly sculpted, wedge-like serifs. Numerals are substantial and readable, with sturdy curves and clear differentiation at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines and short-to-medium editorial text where a strong, classic serif voice is desired. It can anchor book covers, magazine titles, and brand marks that need traditional credibility and high impact, especially at larger sizes.
The face conveys an authoritative, editorial tone—traditional without feeling overly delicate. Its bold, confident shapes read as institutional and trustworthy, suggesting print-era seriousness and a slightly nostalgic, bookish character.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with extra visual weight for emphasis and clarity. It prioritizes a familiar, readable skeleton and assertive finishing details to deliver strong presence in editorial and display settings.
The design’s strong serifs and full bowls create a dark, even color in text, with distinct letterforms that remain recognizable in large headings. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are smoothly drawn, while flat serifs and crisp terminals add a firm, engraved-like finish.
