This typeface presents a sturdy serif design with pronounced contrast between thick vertical stems and thinner connecting strokes. Serifs are clearly bracketed and slightly flared, giving joins a carved, confident feel rather than a sharp, modern cut. Counters are moderately open, with compact proportions and a steady, newspaper-like rhythm in text. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g,” a short-armed “t,” and a robust, slightly condensed feel; uppercase forms are weighty with strong vertical emphasis and crisp interior shaping. Numerals are bold and compact, with clear differentiation and strong baseline presence.
It performs especially well for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its strong contrast and sturdy serifs create impact. It can also support editorial and book typography when used at sizes that let the high-contrast detailing remain clean, making it appropriate for magazines, essays, and display-heavy layouts.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying authority and seriousness without feeling overly ornate. It evokes familiar book and newspaper typography—practical, trustworthy, and assertive—well suited to environments where clarity and gravitas matter.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly legible serif voice with extra weight for emphasis, balancing traditional letterforms with enough contrast and shaping to stand out in print-like, editorial compositions.
Stroke endings and terminals show subtle shaping (including rounded/ball-like details in places) that softens the heavy weight and adds warmth. The family feel leans toward strong headline performance while remaining coherent and readable in paragraph settings at comfortable sizes.
