A robust serif with pronounced bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and softly tapered terminals that keep the heavy strokes from feeling blunt. Proportions are on the broad side with generous counters and a steady, readable rhythm across text. Uppercase forms are sturdy and conventional, with a clear hierarchy and well-contained curves in C, G, and S; the lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey a and g, compact ear and beak details, and a slightly calligraphic feel in terminals. Figures are strong and even in color, with open shapes and clear differentiation at small sizes.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography where a firm, traditional serif is needed for comfortable reading and a confident page color. It also performs strongly for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or branding that benefits from a classic, established tone.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking book typography and institutional print. Its weight and broad stance give it a confident, editorial voice that feels established rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with extra weight and width to deliver strong presence without sacrificing legibility. Its restrained detailing and balanced proportions suggest a focus on dependable, general-purpose publishing use.
In running text the face maintains a dense, dark typographic color while preserving counter openness, which helps prevent clogging. The serif treatment and rounded transitions add warmth and stability, supporting long-form readability while still feeling assertive in headings.
