A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are upright and broad, with rounded bowls, firm vertical stress, and compact internal counters that give the face a dense color on the page. Capitals are weighty and slightly condensed in their apertures, while lowercase shows a moderate x-height with strong shoulders and clear, sculpted joins. Numerals are robust and highly legible, matching the same sharply modeled contrast and serif treatment.
This font works particularly well for headlines and subheads where a classic serif voice needs weight and clarity. It can also support editorial layouts and book typography when a darker, more emphatic text color is desired, and it suits branding applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative impression.
The overall tone is classic and institutional, projecting confidence and seriousness. Its heavy presence and traditional construction suggest an editorial, print-oriented voice—more commanding than delicate—suited to authoritative messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with elevated contrast and a strong printed presence, balancing familiar proportions with subtly expressive terminals for added personality in both text and display settings.
Several glyphs show distinctive, slightly calligraphic touches—such as beaked terminals and occasional ball/teardrop terminals—adding character without becoming ornamental. The rhythm remains consistent across the alphabet, producing a strong, even texture in running text and very emphatic silhouettes at display sizes.
