This is a sturdy serif with generous proportions and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes are thick and confident with moderate modulation, producing strong vertical emphasis and solid, dark text color. Terminals tend toward rounded/ball-like finishes in several lowercase forms, and the overall drawing favors full curves and broad counters rather than sharp, delicate detail. Spacing and rhythm feel even and stable, with a readable lowercase and substantial figures that match the weight of the letters.
It performs well in headlines and editorial settings where a traditional serif voice is needed and strong emphasis is desirable. It’s also suitable for book or magazine titling, institutional branding, and poster-style typography that benefits from a dense, confident text color.
The font conveys a classic, bookish seriousness with an authoritative editorial tone. Its heavy presence and traditional detailing suggest reliability and formality rather than delicacy or playfulness.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, conventional serif feel while adding extra heft for impact. Its bracketed serifs, rounded terminals, and steady rhythm prioritize clarity and authority in both short titles and longer passages.
In running text the weight builds a pronounced page color, making it especially noticeable at display sizes while still retaining conventional text-serif structure. The capitals are broad and steady, and the numerals appear sturdy and well-matched to the overall texture.
