A robust serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced stroke contrast. The letterforms are wide-set with generous counters and a steady, upright axis, giving lines of text a confident, even rhythm. Terminals are crisp and squared-off in many places, while curves remain smooth and weighty, producing a sturdy silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the overall heft and contrast, with clear, open shapes that hold up well at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a traditional serif voice is desired with extra visual weight. It also fits book covers and editorial branding that needs a classic, trustworthy tone, and can work for short passages when strong emphasis and presence are the goal.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, with a confident, established voice. Its heavy presence and traditional detailing suggest seriousness and authority rather than delicacy, making it feel at home in institutional or news-oriented settings.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif pushed toward a heavier, more emphatic expression, preserving familiar proportions and bracketing while increasing impact for display and editorial hierarchy.
Uppercase forms read especially monumental due to their breadth and strong serifs, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open bowls and firm verticals. Spacing appears comfortable for bold text, supporting dense settings without collapsing counters.
