A robust serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a steady vertical stress. Strokes are weighty but not monolinear, with clear thick–thin shaping that reads comfortably at display sizes and holds together in heavier text settings. The letterforms feel slightly wide and open, with generous counters (notably in O, Q, and e) and crisp, squared-off joins that keep the rhythm firm. Curves are full and smooth while terminals and serifs stay compact, producing a confident, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a traditional serif voice is needed with extra heft, and effective for editorial layouts that want a strong typographic backbone. It can also serve book covers, posters, and brand identities aiming for a classic, trustworthy impression, especially in larger sizes where the serif detail and counters remain clear.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, authoritative voice reminiscent of traditional publishing and institutional typography. Its sturdy build and clear serif signaling give it a dependable, formal presence that suits serious messaging without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif character with added weight and presence, balancing classic serif structure with robust proportions for confident, high-impact setting.
Uppercase forms project stability through broad proportions and pronounced serifs, while the lowercase maintains readability with clear differentiation and consistent spacing. Numerals appear sturdy and legible with straightforward shapes suited to headings and short data bursts.
