A sturdy serif with pronounced, bracketed wedge serifs and a slightly softened, inked-in silhouette. Strokes carry moderate modulation, with heavier verticals and fuller curves that keep counters open but compact. Many terminals end in subtly flared or beaked shapes, and the overall drawing shows small irregularities in curvature that give it a lightly printed, old-style texture. The uppercase is broad and stable with strong horizontal serifs, while the lowercase maintains a solid rhythm with rounded bowls and relatively short extenders that keep lines feeling dense and cohesive.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a strong, classic serif presence is desired—headlines, deck copy, editorial openers, book covers, and heritage-leaning branding. It can also work for pull quotes and packaging where dense color and traditional cues help anchor the layout.
The face reads as confident and traditional, with a hint of vintage warmth. Its weight and chunky detailing lend an authoritative, editorial tone, while the slightly softened forms keep it approachable rather than formal or delicate.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, conventional serif voice with a slightly old-world, print-like character—prioritizing impact and readability through sturdy proportions, clear serif structure, and a consistent, weighty texture.
In text, the heavy color builds quickly, creating a strong typographic voice and a slightly compressed internal spacing that emphasizes mass over air. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly weighty curves and sturdy serifs, supporting a consistent texture across mixed content.
