A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The capitals are broad and steady with generous interior spaces and a strong baseline presence, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact bowls and firm vertical stress. Terminals are clean and decisive, with squared-off serif endings and tight joins that create a crisp, print-like rhythm. Numerals follow the same sturdy construction, reading clearly with classic proportions and confident curves.
It performs well for headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where a solid, traditional serif voice is needed. The strong contrast and sturdy serifs also make it suitable for book and magazine typography, especially for titles and section heads that need a classic, authoritative presence.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in established publishing contexts. Its contrast and firm serifs add a sense of refinement, while the heavy color on the page conveys confidence and gravity.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif look with heightened presence—combining classic proportions and bracketed serifs with a heavier overall color for clear hierarchy in print-like layouts.
In text, the font produces a dark, even texture with clear word shapes and strong horizontal anchoring from the serifs. The forms lean toward a classic book-serif feel—stable, legible, and composed—suited to larger text sizes and emphatic typographic hierarchy.
