A robust serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear but not sharp contrast, with generous curves and slightly softened terminals that keep the heavy weight from feeling brittle. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the lowercase has a compact, oldstyle-leaning rhythm with rounded shoulders and full bowls. Numerals and capitals carry a steady, even color, suited to emphatic settings while maintaining conventional text-serif structure.
Well suited to headlines and short-to-medium editorial passages where a strong serif presence is desired. It works effectively for magazine titling, book covers, pull quotes, and promotional typography that benefits from a classic, authoritative texture. The heavy color makes it most comfortable at display sizes, where details and spacing can breathe.
The tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, established voice. Its weight and rounded detailing suggest warmth and authority rather than elegance, giving it a familiar, bookish presence that reads as dependable and institutional.
Likely designed as a conventional, sturdy text serif optimized for impactful setting—delivering classic proportions and clear serif structure while maintaining a warm, rounded finish for readability and approachability.
In text, the letterforms create a dense, even texture with pronounced vertical emphasis and sturdy joins. The serifs are prominent and supportive, helping lines hold together at larger sizes, while the rounded shaping keeps the overall feel approachable rather than severe.
