A robust serif with strongly bracketed serifs, full curves, and a steady, moderately modulated stroke. The letters have broad proportions and generous internal counters, with rounded joins that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. Capitals are sturdy and slightly flared in places, while the lowercase shows a two‑storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and pronounced serifs on verticals that lend a solid, bookish rhythm. Numerals appear oldstyle in character, with varied heights and extenders that integrate naturally with running text.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a strong serif presence is desired, and it can also serve as a bold companion for editorial layouts. Its sturdy serifs and open counters make it a good candidate for book covers, posters, and branding applications that want a classic, print-forward tone.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking classic print typography and an editorial voice. Its weight and broad stance give it a confident, slightly monumental presence without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra weight and breadth for emphasis, maintaining traditional letter construction while prioritizing impact and legibility in bold settings.
In the sample text, spacing and counters stay open at display sizes, and the serifs remain clearly defined, producing a dark, even color with a confident baseline. The italic is not shown, and the roman’s forms suggest a design aimed at clarity and impact in bold text settings.
