This typeface is a sturdy serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and generously weighted strokes that keep counters open despite the heavy color. Curves are round and full, with a noticeable modulation between main stems and connecting strokes, and several letters show ball terminals and softly flared endings that add texture. The lowercase is compact and readable, with a two-storey “a,” a closed, looped “g,” and a relatively short ascender/descender feel that concentrates the silhouette. Numerals appear oldstyle, mixing ascenders and descenders for a more text-centric rhythm, while capitals are broad and steady with firm horizontals and confident diagonal joins.
It performs best where a dense, confident serif presence is desirable—magazine and newspaper-style headlines, editorial titling, pull quotes, and book or journal covers. The oldstyle numerals and lively serif detailing also suit text-forward layouts that want a traditional, printed feel, especially for short-form paragraphs, captions, and feature typography.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, projecting authority and familiarity rather than novelty. Its weight and pronounced serifs give it a serious, institutional voice—suited to emphatic headlines while still retaining a bookish, traditional warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with extra weight and character, balancing strong typographic authority with traditional detailing. Its letterforms prioritize a stable reading rhythm and recognizable shapes, aiming for a dependable editorial workhorse that can also carry expressive, display-scale emphasis.
The forms emphasize solidity over delicacy: joins are compact, terminals are clearly defined, and inner spaces stay clear at display sizes. The combination of strong serifs, ball terminals in places, and oldstyle numerals creates a distinctly literary texture that reads as established and trustworthy.
