A sturdy serif with generously weighted strokes, moderate modulation, and clearly bracketed serifs that flare into triangular, wedge-like feet. Curves are full and slightly compacted, giving counters a solid, dark presence, while joins and terminals stay clean and well-defined. Lowercase shows traditional proportions with rounded dots and noticeable ball terminals on letters like “a,” “c,” and “f,” and the numerals follow the same robust, print-like construction. Overall spacing and rhythm read even and deliberate, favoring strong word shapes over airy texture.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine typography, and cover work where a confident serif voice is needed. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, print-established character, particularly at larger sizes where its terminals and serifs remain crisp and expressive.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial, print-forward feel. Its heavy presence and traditional detailing suggest seriousness and trust, while the rounded terminals add a touch of warmth rather than sharp severity.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with extra weight for emphasis, balancing traditional proportions with robust strokes to deliver strong presence in titles and prominent text settings.
The uppercase forms feel slightly condensed and monumental, with wide, stable serifs that anchor lines strongly. In text, the face maintains a consistent dark color and holds together well at display sizes, where its detailing and sturdy curves are most apparent.
