A sturdy serif with compact proportions, firm vertical stress, and bracketed serifs that end in subtly beaked, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are weighty and confident with moderate contrast and clean, crisp joins; curves are round but tightly controlled, giving counters a slightly compact feel. Capitals read broad and stable with strong horizontals (notably in E/F/T), while the lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey a, a robust two-storey g, and a dark, rhythmic texture that holds together well at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where a dense, confident serif texture is desired, as well as book covers and editorial layouts that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice. It can also serve in branding and poster work when a traditional but decisive serif presence is needed.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and seriousness without feeling ornate. It carries a bookish, institutional voice suited to established brands and content-forward design, with enough sharpness in the terminals to feel decisive and modernized rather than purely historic.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with enhanced weight and crisp terminal shaping to deliver strong impact in titles and prominent text. Its controlled contrast and consistent serif treatment suggest an emphasis on dependable typographic color and a formal, editorial character.
Serif details are consistently shaped and slightly wedge-forward, which adds a crisp edge to the otherwise conventional text-serif skeleton. The numerals appear substantial and steady, matching the weight and presence of the letters for cohesive headline and titling use.
