A robust serif with strongly bracketed serifs and pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes. The letterforms are wide and open with generous counters, sturdy shoulders, and a steady, upright stance. Serifs read as slightly flared and cushioned rather than sharp, and many curves finish with subtle ball-like terminals, giving the shapes a soft, engraved feel despite the heavy color. Numerals and capitals appear solid and emphatic, with clear, conventional constructions and substantial interior space.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium reading contexts where a strong typographic voice is desired—headlines, editorial openers, book or magazine covers, posters, and branding that leans classic. The wide proportions and heavy presence make it especially effective for title work and impactful pull quotes.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, projecting an editorial, old-style confidence. Its weight and rounded finishing details add warmth, balancing a formal presence with a slightly vintage, print-forward character.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif adapted for bold, attention-focused typography, combining classic bracketed serifs and familiar letter structures with softened terminals for a more approachable, print-like finish.
In text, the rhythm is dense and attention-grabbing, with strong vertical emphasis and distinct serif cues that help word shapes stay recognizable at larger sizes. The lowercase shows sturdy bowls and pronounced joins, creating a slightly “inked” texture that feels suited to bold typographic statements.
