A robust serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clear stroke modulation. The design shows pronounced thick–thin contrast in the curves and joins, with crisp terminals and a steady vertical stress that keeps the texture even in dense settings. Proportions feel slightly condensed in some capitals while the lowercase maintains a conventional, readable build; counters are moderately open and the overall rhythm is firm and print-like. Figures appear lining with similarly weighty forms and distinct shapes.
This font performs best for editorial headlines, magazine or newspaper-style typography, and book or chapter titling where a strong serif presence is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy voice, and works well in posters or announcements requiring a confident typographic anchor.
The face conveys a classic, institutional tone—confident and authoritative without becoming ornate. Its weight and contrast suggest seriousness and tradition, lending a bookish, editorial character that feels well suited to formal messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and substantial weight, aiming for clarity and authority in reading while providing enough sharpness and character for prominent titles.
The italic is not shown; the samples emphasize a strong roman with pronounced entry/exit shaping in letters like a, g, and y, and a distinctive uppercase Q with a sweeping tail. At display sizes the serifs read sharply and add a carved, engraved impression, while in paragraph-like lines the heavier weight produces a dark, commanding color.
