A bold, wide serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes swell into rounded joins, and several forms show ball-like terminals, giving the design a slightly softened, engraved feel despite its heavy color. The letters are generously proportioned with open counters and broad bowls, producing a steady, readable rhythm. Numerals appear oldstyle in construction, with varying heights and a more text-oriented cadence than lining figures.
Works best for headlines, subheads, and other editorial display applications where a strong, traditional serif voice is needed. It can also serve book covers and mastheads effectively, especially when you want a classic, authoritative presence and a rich typographic color.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition with a hint of warmth from its rounded terminals and brackets. It feels suited to established institutions and print culture rather than minimalist or technical aesthetics.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif interpreted for bold, attention-grabbing use: preserving classical serif structure and contrast while enlarging proportions and softening terminals to maintain clarity and approachability in larger sizes.
In text, the font creates a dense, confident texture and holds up well at display sizes, where the contrast and bracketed detailing become more apparent. The wide set and heavy weight emphasize horizontal presence, making short lines and headlines feel substantial.
