A robust serif with compact, weighty forms and clearly bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with thick main stems and slightly tapered joins, giving letters a dense, steady color on the page. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be restrained, contributing to a firm, slightly condensed feel in running text. The lowercase has a conventional build with rounded bowls and sturdy verticals, while the numerals match the same solid, old-style-inflected presence and broad, stable proportions.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where a strong serif voice is desired. It can add gravitas to book covers and section titles, and works effectively in posters or packaging when a classic, authoritative impression is needed.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with a strong editorial and bookish character. Its heavy presence reads confident and somewhat formal, evoking institutional print, classic publishing, and emphatic headlines without feeling decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with extra visual weight for emphasis. Its aim is clarity and authority in print-like settings, pairing familiar proportions with sturdy, bracketed detailing to hold up at display sizes and in dense typography.
The design maintains consistent serif treatment and rhythm across caps and lowercase, with a pronounced, blocky emphasis in heavier letters like M, N, and W. Curved letters (C, G, S) appear full and rounded, keeping the texture smooth despite the dense weight.
