A robust serif with strong, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms have broad proportions and generous counters, with rounded joins and smooth curves that keep the heavy weight from feeling brittle. Capitals read as classical and steady, while the lowercase shows a conventional text-seriffed structure with a sturdy, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Numerals are weighty and open, matching the overall density and maintaining clear shapes at display sizes.
Works well for headlines, subheads, book and magazine titling, and other editorial contexts where a classic serif voice is desired with extra emphasis. It can also serve in branding and signage when a traditional, authoritative impression is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the modulation and serifs read cleanly.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that suggests print heritage. Its bold presence feels confident and institutional rather than playful, giving text a formal, emphatic voice suited to headlines and statements.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif feel with heightened impact—combining classic proportions and bracketed serifs with a heavier, more declarative stroke weight for strong typographic presence.
The design maintains a consistent vertical stress and a calm baseline rhythm, with serifs that flare subtly and soften into the stems via noticeable bracketing. The heavy strokes create strong texture in paragraph settings, producing a dark, even color with clear internal spaces that help counters stay legible.
