A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and compact, bracketed serifs that read sharply even at heavy weight. The capitals are broad and strongly modeled, with rounded joins and clear vertical stress; curves (C, G, O, Q) feel full and controlled rather than calligraphic. Lowercase forms are solid and slightly compact, with a double‑storey a and g, a deep-shouldered n/m, and a clear, open e. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying heights with ascenders/descenders), adding a traditional text rhythm.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style headlines, title treatments, and pull quotes where a strong serif presence is desired. It can also serve in short to moderate-length text in print-oriented layouts, and works for branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, established tone.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and seriousness with a distinctly traditional print flavor. Its dense color and emphatic serifs give it a confident, institutional voice suitable for heritage or scholarly contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif pushed toward stronger emphasis: maintaining familiar, readable letterforms while increasing weight, contrast, and serif presence for impactful typography in editorial and branding applications.
Counters are moderately tight for the weight, producing a dark, even page color in paragraph settings. Round letters maintain good internal space, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain crisp and stable, supporting display sizes without feeling overly decorative.
