A robust serif with heavy, high-contrast forms and a distinctly traditional construction. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with wedge-like terminals that give strokes a sculpted, inked feel rather than a mechanical slab look. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S) are smooth and generously rounded, producing a confident rhythm at display sizes. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a compact, sturdy texture, and short, thick joins that emphasize solidity over delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and other display typography where its bold, traditional serif shapes can be appreciated. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for a classic, established feel, especially when paired with simpler supporting text.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a heritage, print-forward voice. It reads as confident and slightly dramatic—more formal than casual—suggesting editorial gravitas and traditional craftsmanship rather than minimal modernism.
The font appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra visual weight for impact, combining traditional bracketed serifs and oldstyle proportions with a strong, contemporary presence for display use.
The design leans on pronounced terminals and softened internal corners to keep the heavy weight from feeling blunt. Wide capitals and sturdy numerals support headline settings, while the dense spacing and compact counters suggest careful size and tracking choices for longer lines.
