A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast, sturdy vertical stems, and bracketed, sharply cut serifs. The letterforms feel generously proportioned with ample internal counters and a steady baseline, giving the face a confident rhythm at display sizes. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are firm rather than calligraphic, and the overall construction reads as traditional with a slightly expanded presence.
It performs best in headlines and larger text where its contrast, robust serifs, and open counters can register clearly. The face is well-suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine titling, institutional or legal-themed materials, and branding that benefits from a traditional, established voice.
The font conveys a classic, institutional tone—confident, formal, and quietly authoritative. Its strong contrast and crisp finishing lend it an editorial gravitas that feels suited to traditional publishing and established brands.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif look with elevated presence—combining traditional proportions and serif structure with enough weight and contrast to hold attention in display and editorial settings.
Capitals appear particularly weighty and stable, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable texture with round dots and straightforward, no-nonsense details. Numerals are bold and evenly set, matching the text’s solid, print-oriented character.
