A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a compact, sturdy build. Strokes are confidently heavy with moderate contrast and smooth transitions into serifs, giving the letters a carved, print-like solidity. Uppercase forms are wide and steady, with an open, rounded C and O, and a Q featuring a short, outward tail. Lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a relatively large x-height, and compact counters that keep text color dense and even. Numerals are similarly weighty and conventional, matching the overall text rhythm.
This font is well-suited to headlines and subheads where a strong, classic serif voice is needed, and it can carry short blocks of text with a dense, authoritative color. It fits editorial layouts, book or journal titling, institutional communications, and traditional branding where gravitas and legibility are priorities.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and trustworthy. Its heavy presence lends a slightly old-style, bookish character suited to formal communication and classic branding.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a heavier, more assertive presence than typical body faces. Its emphasis on sturdy serifs, compact counters, and even texture suggests a goal of producing dependable readability while projecting a classic, formal tone for editorial and display applications.
The spacing and proportions produce a dark, consistent texture in paragraphs, while the serifs add a crisp edge that helps maintain definition at display sizes. Curves are rounded rather than sharp, balancing the strong weight with a calm, steady rhythm.
