A robust serif with compact proportions, pronounced bracketed serifs, and sturdy stems that give letters a dense, high-ink presence. Bowls and counters are moderately open for a bold text face, while stroke modulation stays restrained and consistent across the alphabet. Uppercase forms feel broad-shouldered and stable, and the lowercase shows traditional construction with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a firm vertical stress, and clear, blocky terminals. Numerals match the heavy text color with straightforward, readable shapes suited to running text.
Well suited for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and section titling where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also work for book or magazine text in settings that benefit from a darker, weightier color, and for posters or printed materials that need a classic, authoritative look.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking established editorial typography and institutional print. Its strong presence reads confident and serious, with a classic, bookish character rather than a decorative one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable serif with extra heft—aimed at delivering a confident, traditional impression while maintaining legibility and consistent rhythm in real-world text settings.
Spacing appears designed to maintain an even rhythm at text sizes, with strong word shapes and clear differentiation between similar forms. The heavier serifs and compact counters contribute to a dark, assertive page color that holds up well in headings and short passages.
