A robust serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are wide-set with generous counters and a steady, upright rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and confidently shaped, with rounded joins and compact terminals that keep the heavy strokes from feeling blunt. Capitals feel solid and structured, while lowercase maintains a conventional skeleton with a clear, readable texture; figures are sturdy and proportioned for text, with clear differentiation between similar forms.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of editorial copy where a traditional serif voice and strong presence are desired. The sturdy forms and open counters also make it a good candidate for book covers, posters, and brand identities that need a classic, established feel.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking editorial and institutional typography rather than decorative display. Its weight and contrast give it a confident, assertive voice, suitable for serious messaging and high-impact reading. The wide proportions add a measured, stately presence.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with added impact: wide proportions, strong contrast, and confident bracketing combine to deliver a classic text-seriffed look that remains assertive in display settings.
The font holds up well at larger sizes in the sample text, where the contrast and bracketed serifs create a lively but controlled texture. Curves (C, G, O, S) show smooth, consistent shaping, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain stable and well balanced under the heavy weight.
