A sturdy serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and a generous, weighty color on the page. Strokes are largely rational and even, with moderated contrast and firmly modeled joins that keep counters open despite the heavy weight. Proportions read broad and settled, with wide capitals, full bowls, and a compact, stable rhythm. The lowercase shows a traditional book-face structure with a two-storey a and g, substantial stems, and short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders that support dense setting.
This face is well suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where a classic serif voice and strong typographic presence are desired. It can also serve in editorial and book settings when a darker, more emphatic texture is acceptable, especially for print-oriented layouts.
The overall tone is confident and institutional, evoking familiar editorial and academic typography. Its strong presence feels formal and dependable, with a classic seriousness suited to authoritative messaging rather than casual or playful use.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, conventional serif voice with extra weight and presence, keeping traditional proportions and bracketed serifs to maintain readability while projecting authority in both text and display contexts.
In text, the heavy serif detailing creates a dark, emphatic texture; spacing appears designed for continuous reading but will feel especially assertive at display sizes. Numerals are robust and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ sturdy, traditional construction.
