A sturdy serif with pronounced stroke contrast and compact, slightly condensed proportions. Serifs are bracketed and often flare subtly, with frequent ball or teardrop terminals that soften joins and corners. Curves are full and weighty, counters are relatively small, and the overall rhythm is dense and steady, giving the face a strong page color. Numerals appear in an oldstyle style with noticeable ascenders/descenders and curved terminals, matching the lowercase’s traditional texture.
Well suited for headlines, subheads, and display text where a classic serif voice is desired. It also fits editorial contexts such as magazines, pull quotes, and book-cover typography, and can provide a traditional, authoritative tone for branding and packaging when used at moderate to large sizes.
The font reads as classic and bookish, with an authoritative, slightly old-fashioned tone. Its strong contrast and emphatic terminals lend a formal, editorial presence that feels established and confident rather than minimal or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif feel with extra emphasis and personality through strong contrast, bracketed serifs, and rounded terminals. It prioritizes a rich, traditional texture and recognizable detailing that holds up in prominent typography.
The uppercase shows a dignified, conventional construction with distinctive terminal shaping (notably in letters like J, S, and G), while the lowercase maintains an even, readable texture despite the heavy weight. The design’s terminal details are prominent enough to become a recognizable signature in headings and short passages.
