A heavy, classic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms are broad and steady, with thick verticals, finer connecting strokes, and tightly shaped counters that keep the texture dark and compact. Rounded forms (C, O, G) feel slightly squarish through firm terminals and confident curves, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain sturdy rather than delicate. Lowercase shows a two-storey a, a ball-terminal g, and sturdy stems with clearly defined serifs, producing an even, emphatic rhythm in text.
Best suited to display and headline settings where a dense, classic serif voice is desired—editorial titles, magazine headings, posters, and branding that needs heritage and authority. It can also work for short blocks of text or pull quotes when a strong typographic color is acceptable and ample spacing is available.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, evoking classic book and newspaper typography with a strong, attention-holding presence. It reads as dependable and formal, with a slightly old-style warmth from its bracketed serifs and rounded terminals.
This design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with extra weight and presence, combining traditional proportions and serif structure with a forceful, high-impact texture for titles and emphatic typography.
The numerals are bold and readable with large forms and clear differentiation, matching the strong typographic color of the letters. At larger sizes the crisp contrast and serif shaping become especially prominent, giving headlines a stately, engraved-like feel without becoming ornate.
