A sturdy serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and a broadly traditional skeleton. Strokes are confidently thick with moderate contrast and rounded joins, giving the letterforms a dense, dark texture. Counters are relatively compact and the curves are full, while terminals often finish with blunt or softly angled cuts that keep edges crisp without feeling sharp. The overall rhythm reads stable and slightly condensed in feel, with numerals and capitals carrying a substantial, editorial presence.
Best suited to headings, subheads, book or magazine typography, and other editorial contexts where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also work for heritage-leaning branding and packaging, especially when you want a traditional tone and high visual presence on the page.
The face conveys a classic, institutional tone—serious, dependable, and slightly old-world. Its weight and compact counters add authority and gravitas, producing a strong page color that feels suited to established, traditional communication.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional serif voice with extra heft and clarity, emphasizing a strong editorial color and dependable readability. Its bracketed serifs and robust curves suggest an intention to feel timeless and authoritative rather than decorative.
The lowercase shows a sturdy, oldstyle-like construction with a prominent, ear-like terminal on the “g” and a compact, slightly angled shoulder treatment in letters like “n” and “m.” Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) are round and heavy, with the Q featuring a clear tail that remains integrated and readable. The figures are bold and straightforward, intended to hold up in display-like sizes while remaining coherent in text blocks.
