A sturdy serif with bracketed wedges and rounded joins, combining compact counters with a strong, even rhythm. Strokes are thick with moderate contrast and clearly defined terminals, producing dense, dark text color. Capitals feel broad and stable, while lowercase forms are compact and practical, with a two-storey “a” and “g” and firmly planted verticals. Numerals are heavy and readable, matching the weight and texture of the letters for consistent color in running text and headlines.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and print-forward branding where a strong serif voice is needed. The weight and compact counters make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and posters, and it can also serve for short-to-medium text passages where a darker, more emphatic text color is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, evoking editorial typography and institutional print. Its confident weight and classic proportions communicate seriousness and authority, with a slightly old-style warmth from the bracketed serifs and rounded details.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-centric serif with a bold, confident texture and familiar letterforms. It prioritizes authority and legibility through sturdy proportions, bracketed serifs, and consistent stroke shaping.
The face maintains a consistent, deliberate texture at larger sizes, where the strong serifs and tight interior spaces become a defining stylistic feature. Letterforms favor solid shapes over delicacy, lending presence in display settings while still reading clearly in short text blocks.
