This typeface features sturdy, bracketed serifs with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and largely vertical stress. Capitals are wide and steady with crisp, flat terminals, while curves are generously rounded and tightly controlled, producing compact counters and a weighty texture. Lowercase forms maintain a traditional book-seriff structure with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a compact “e,” and a short, sturdy “t,” giving the text a dense, even color. Numerals are proportional and robust, with clear shapes and strong top-and-bottom horizontals where applicable.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial settings where its contrast and serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, evoking printed editorial work and institutional typography. Its strong contrast and solid stance convey seriousness and authority, while the rounded curves keep it approachable rather than austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-forward serif voice with strong contrast and a concentrated, impactful text color. Its consistent, disciplined construction suggests a focus on clarity and gravitas in display and editorial typography.
At larger sizes the sharp serifs and tight counters read as distinctly display-oriented, creating a dramatic, high-impact word shape. In continuous text the heavy strokes and compact interior spaces produce a dark, emphatic texture that suits short passages and prominent typographic hierarchy.
