A robust serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous horizontals and sturdy vertical stems, giving the design a substantial color on the page. Curves are smooth and controlled, with noticeable thick–thin transitions in rounds and diagonals; terminals often finish with small ball/teardrop details and neatly cut endings. Spacing reads open and steady, supporting strong word shapes in both uppercase and lowercase, while figures appear sturdy and well-balanced for display and emphasis.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where a strong, classic serif voice is needed, and for editorial typography such as magazine titles, pull quotes, and book-jacket copy. It can also work for branding and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional, high-impact typographic signature.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, evoking established print typography and institutional credibility. Its weight and contrast lend it an assertive, editorial presence that feels serious and deliberate rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif structure with heightened presence, combining traditional serif details with a heavier, more declarative footprint for prominent typography.
Uppercase forms feel monumental and slightly squared in their stance, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a consistent rhythm that keeps dense settings readable at larger sizes. The numerals carry the same strong serifed construction and high-contrast shaping, matching the text’s commanding texture.
