A robust serif with heavy, gently flared stems and smooth bracketed terminals that read as shaped rather than sharply cut. The letterforms are compact and weighty, with rounded joins, large counters, and a tall lowercase that keeps text dark but legible. Curves are broad and controlled, diagonals are sturdy, and overall spacing is moderately tight, producing an even, emphatic texture in paragraphs. Numerals share the same solid construction, with simple, sturdy forms that match the uppercase weight and presence.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a strong, classic serif presence is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefit from a dependable, authoritative tone, especially when set in larger sizes or used for short blocks of copy.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a distinctly editorial voice. Its substantial strokes and softened serif shaping suggest authority and seriousness, while the rounded modeling keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with modern sturdiness: high visual impact, stable rhythm, and sculpted terminals that keep the forms feeling crafted and typographic. Its tall lowercase and robust construction aim to preserve clarity while maintaining a dark, emphatic color.
Uppercase proportions feel wide and stable, and the lowercase maintains strong differentiation through generous apertures and clear bowls. The design favors continuous, sculpted transitions (not sharp contrast), which helps maintain a consistent rhythm at display sizes and in short text blocks.
