A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and broadly proportioned letterforms. Serifs are clearly bracketed and slightly flared, with strong vertical stress and confident, weighty stems. Curves are generous and round (notably in O/C/G), while junctions and terminals stay crisp, giving the design a steady rhythm in text. Lowercase forms show a two-storey a and g, compact apertures, and a sturdy, slightly condensed internal spacing that helps maintain dark, even color at larger sizes.
Well-suited to headlines and large text in editorial layouts where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve book covers, pull quotes, and poster typography where dense color and classic proportions help establish hierarchy and presence.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and bookish rather than trendy. Its heavy presence and formal detailing suggest a voice suited to institutions and traditional publishing.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with added weight and presence, combining familiar book-type structures with a bolder, more display-capable finish for commanding editorial typography.
The figures are solid and prominently serifed, matching the text weight and maintaining consistent texture alongside capitals. In the sample text, the face produces a distinctly dark typographic color with clear word shapes, favoring impact and gravitas over delicacy.
