A sturdy serif with bracketed, triangular wedge-like serifs and a noticeably full color on the page. Strokes are mostly steady with modest thick–thin modulation, giving the letters a firm, print-like rhythm rather than a delicate calligraphic feel. Counters are relatively tight and terminals are blunt and confident, while round letters (C, O, Q) read broad and stable. The lowercase shows compact forms with a two-storey a, a compact e with a small eye, and a ball terminal on g, contributing to a dense, readable texture in text.
It suits display-forward editorial work where a classic serif voice is needed with extra presence: headlines, subheads, magazine and newspaper styling, and book or report covers. Its dense texture and firm serifs also support short blocks of text and pull quotes where authority and legibility are prioritized over lightness.
The tone is conventional and authoritative, evoking book typography, academic publishing, and established institutions. Its weight and crisp serifing add a sense of certainty and emphasis, making it feel editorial and somewhat formal rather than casual or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, conventional serif structure with added weight and firmness for impact. It aims for dependable readability and a classic publishing tone, while keeping details restrained and consistent to hold together well in larger text settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains a strong, even typographic color with clear word shapes and prominent punctuation. Numerals are heavy and straightforward, with a utilitarian, print-oriented presence that matches the robust capitals.
