A robust serif with strongly bracketed serifs, pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes, and a generous, weighty presence. The proportions are fairly traditional with moderate x-height, compact counters, and a steady vertical stress that keeps the texture even in paragraphs. Terminals and joins show softened, slightly calligraphic shaping (including occasional ball-like terminals), and the overall drawing favors clarity over delicacy, giving the letters a firm, anchored rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads, book and magazine typography, and formal branding where a classic serif voice is desired. Its heavy stroke weight and strong serifs also make it effective for posters and title treatments that need a traditional, authoritative presence.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with a bookish seriousness that reads as established and dependable. Its bold, confident color feels editorial and institutional, suggesting formality without becoming ornate or old-fashioned.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif feel with extra visual weight, prioritizing a confident, readable page texture and a familiar, traditional typographic voice for print-like settings.
Capitals have broad, stable silhouettes and strong serifs that hold up well at display sizes, while the lowercase maintains a dense, consistent color suited to continuous reading. Numerals appear traditional and sturdy, matching the text weight and reinforcing the overall conservative, print-oriented impression.
