A robust serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and compact proportions. Strokes are sturdy with clear, moderate modulation and slightly softened joins that keep the texture even in dense settings. Terminals often finish in small bulbs or rounded endings (notably on several lowercase forms), while capitals read firmly with wide, stable stems and restrained curves. Numerals are weighty and straightforward, matching the text color and maintaining a strong, consistent rhythm across the set.
Well suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial typography where a strong, classical serif presence is desired. It can also work on book covers, posters, and packaging that benefit from an established, traditional voice and a dense typographic color.
The overall tone is traditional and emphatic, projecting authority and seriousness. Its heavy presence and classic detailing suggest a bookish, institutional voice—confident and dependable rather than delicate or playful.
The font appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-oriented serif feel with added emphasis for impact. Its sturdy serifs, moderated contrast, and familiar letterforms prioritize clarity and authority while maintaining a classic typographic character.
The design produces a dark, cohesive page color, helped by tight-looking interior spaces and stout serifs. Counters remain generally open for a bold serif, and the lowercase shows familiar, conventional construction aimed at readability rather than display novelty.
