A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms have broad proportions and a steady, upright stance, with rounded bowls and confident vertical stress. Uppercase shapes feel monumental and blocky, while the lowercase shows traditional, text-oriented construction with a two-storey “a,” compact apertures, and sturdy joins. Numerals are weighty and high-contrast, matching the dense color and wide set of the alphabet.
Well-suited to headlines, cover typography, and editorial titling where strong contrast and wide proportions can create presence and hierarchy. It can also support classic branding and institutional materials, and works effectively for pull quotes or short-form text when given sufficient spacing.
The overall tone is authoritative and bookish, combining a classic print sensibility with a forceful, headline-ready presence. It reads as traditional and formal, suggesting established institutions, publishing, and heritage branding rather than minimalist or technical moods.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened impact: classic text-serif construction reinforced by wide proportions, strong bracketing, and a dark, print-like color that holds up in prominent display roles.
At display sizes the heavy serifs and high contrast create a strong rhythm and clear word shapes, while the tight interior spaces and dense strokes suggest best performance with comfortable tracking and generous leading in longer settings. The wide footprint and assertive capitals make it especially impactful in short lines and titles.
