A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like serifs that often show subtle bracketing into the stems. The letterforms are broad and steady, with rounded bowls and relatively tight internal counters that reinforce a dense, emphatic color on the page. Uppercase shapes feel classical and upright, while the lowercase shows distinctive, somewhat calligraphic details such as a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and small ball-like terminals on characters like “f” and “j.” Numerals are weighty and old-style in spirit, with strong curves and clear stroke tapering that keeps forms crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial display where its strong stroke contrast and crisp serifs can project authority and clarity. It also works well for book covers and branding that aim for a classic, established voice, particularly in larger sizes where the details in the terminals and bowls remain distinct.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, with a bookish, institutional feel that reads as established and credible. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing give it a slightly dramatic, headline-ready presence while remaining grounded in conventional serif manners.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif vocabulary with extra weight and contrast for impact, combining conventional proportions with lively, sharply finished details that enhance presence in display and editorial contexts.
Spacing appears generous enough for large text, but the heavy weight and tighter counters can make long passages feel dark, especially in smaller sizes. The silhouette stays consistent across the alphabet, and the pointed terminals and bracketed serifs provide a clear rhythmic texture in words.
