A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a clearly modeled stroke structure. Curves are full and rounded, while joins and serifs stay crisp, giving the face a solid, ink-rich color on the page. Capitals read stately and even, with generous interior counters; lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with single-storey a and g, a tight ear on g, and a short-armed t. Numerals are heavy and steady, with oldstyle-style figures suggested by the descending 3/5/9 and an open, round 0.
Well-suited to headlines and editorial settings where a strong serif voice is desired, and it can also serve for book or long-form text when a darker typographic color is acceptable. It works effectively for institutional or heritage-leaning branding, pull quotes, and posters that benefit from a traditional, weighty presence.
The overall tone is classic and no-nonsense, leaning editorial and bookish rather than decorative. Its weight and firm serifs convey authority and tradition, with a slightly warm, oldstyle flavor that feels established and dependable.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif voice with extra presence: classic proportions, familiar serif construction, and a robust weight aimed at readability and authority across display and text contexts.
In text, the font produces a strong, dark texture with clear word shapes and pronounced punctuation, making it especially noticeable at larger text sizes. The rhythm is compact and confident, prioritizing solidity over delicacy.
