A sturdy serif with pronounced bracketed serifs, substantial stems, and compact interior counters that read dark and decisive on the page. The forms are upright with a conventional, bookish structure: rounded characters are full and slightly squarish in their proportions, while horizontals and terminals stay crisp and well-contained. Lowercase shows a moderate x-height with short, firm extenders, and the overall rhythm is steady, favoring solidity over delicacy. Numerals match the heavy color and feel integrated with the text, maintaining clear silhouettes at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and pull quotes where its strong serif construction and dark color provide impact. It also works well for editorial and book applications when used with comfortable size and spacing, especially for section heads, chapter titles, and other hierarchy elements that benefit from a traditional voice.
The tone is classic and authoritative, evoking established print typography and institutional credibility. Its strong presence and conservative detailing give it an editorial, scholarly feel—confident rather than ornate.
Likely drawn to deliver a conventional, dependable serif voice with extra heft for emphasis, prioritizing strong letterforms, clear word shapes, and a confident page color for display-forward typography.
The weight produces a dense typographic color that can dominate at small sizes, while remaining highly legible in headlines and emphatic text. Serifs and joins are smoothly transitioned, reinforcing a traditional, no-nonsense texture in paragraphs.
