A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The design shows strong vertical stress, compact internal counters, and confident, slightly squared curves that keep the silhouette firm at display sizes. Uppercase forms are broad and weighty with stable proportions, while the lowercase combines a two-storey a and g with relatively short ascenders and rounded terminals that read clearly in bold settings. Numerals are heavy and compact, with ample presence and clear differentiation.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium passages where a strong serif presence is desired. It works well for editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, heritage-leaning branding, and print materials that benefit from a traditional, high-impact voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking bookish, institutional, and editorial contexts. Its assertive weight and sharp serifs give it a decisive voice, while the classic forms keep it familiar and dependable rather than decorative.
This font appears designed to deliver a classic text-serif foundation with added weight for impact, maintaining conventional letterforms while emphasizing contrast and sturdy serifs for confident readability in display-led typography.
Spacing appears generous for the weight, helping avoid clogging in tight counters, and the rhythm remains even across mixed-case text. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a strong roman suited to emphasis through scale and weight rather than flourish.
