A sturdy serif with generous weight and clearly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and a strong vertical emphasis, with wide, open counters and rounded transitions that keep the texture even in dense settings. Caps feel substantial and slightly formal, while the lowercase maintains a readable, workmanlike rhythm; ascenders are prominent and terminals are decisively finished. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel through their curved, traditional shapes and solid presence, matching the text color of the alphabet well.
Well suited to headlines and short-to-medium editorial text where a strong typographic voice is needed. It can also work for book covers, brand lockups with a classic feel, and packaging or posters that benefit from a dense, authoritative serif texture.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with a familiar book-type gravitas. Its heavy, steady color and conventional detailing read as dependable and institutional, suited to serious or heritage-leaning communication rather than novelty.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with extra heft for impact, balancing traditional serif detailing with sturdy proportions so it performs both as a display face and as emphatic text.
In the sample text, the font holds together with a dark, uniform texture and stable spacing, producing strong emphasis in headings while remaining coherent across longer lines. Distinctive moments include a lively, curving tail on the Q and rounded bowls that keep the face approachable despite its weight.
