A sturdy serif with generous weight, compact internal spaces, and clearly bracketed serifs that give strokes a firmly anchored feel. Curves are full and slightly squared at joins, producing a robust rhythm in text. Terminals are mostly flat or subtly tapered, and the overall drawing favors strong verticals with moderate stroke modulation. The lowercase shows traditional proportions and familiar two-storey structures, while numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and a lively baseline rhythm.
Well-suited to headlines and display typography where a strong, traditional serif voice is needed, such as editorial titles, book and magazine covers, and heritage-leaning branding. It can also work for short-form text like pull quotes and subheads when a darker, more emphatic texture is desired.
The font conveys a classic, institutional tone with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its heavy color and traditional detailing suggest credibility and permanence, lending a bookish, editorial voice rather than a delicate or fashionable one.
Designed to deliver a familiar text-serif structure with extra heft, prioritizing authority and impact while maintaining traditional serif cues and readable, conventional letter shapes.
In continuous text, the dense color and tight counters create a solid typographic texture that holds together well at larger sizes. The letterforms read as conventional and disciplined, with minimal flourish beyond the softened serif transitions and rounded bowls.
