A sturdy serif with pronounced stroke contrast and bracketed, tapered serifs that finish in crisp, angular terminals. The letterforms feel compact and upright, with strong vertical stress and a relatively tall x-height that keeps lowercase counters open and readable. Curves are controlled rather than calligraphic, and joins are clean, producing a disciplined, high-impact texture in paragraphs. Capitals are broad-shouldered and weighty, while numerals and punctuation match the same firm, squared-off clarity.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, and book typography where a classic serif voice and firm contrast are desired. It can also work for posters, labels, and brand marks that need a traditional, authoritative feel and strong typographic presence.

Its emphasis on crisp serifs and disciplined structure suggests a focus on confident editorial impact and dependable text performance.
