A robust serif with strong, bracketed wedge-like serifs and a slightly calligraphic stroke flow. The letterforms show moderate modulation with rounded joins and full, open bowls, giving the design a sturdy, ink-on-paper presence. Proportions are generous with broad capitals and roomy counters, while lowercase forms keep a steady rhythm and clear word shapes. Terminals tend toward soft, tapered finishes rather than blunt cuts, and the overall texture reads dense but not cramped.
Well suited for headlines and subheads in magazines, newspapers, and long-form editorial layouts where a strong serif voice is desired. It also fits book covers, cultural posters, and branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative feel and bold typographic presence.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with an editorial seriousness. Its weight and wide stance add confidence and impact, making it feel established and trustworthy rather than trendy. The shapes suggest a traditional print lineage suited to formal or institutional settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with elevated impact—combining classic proportions and bracketed serifs with enough weight to perform in prominent settings. It aims to deliver an established, print-forward character while maintaining clear, recognizable forms across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
In the sample text, the heavy color and pronounced serifs create a strong typographic voice at display sizes, with a consistent, even cadence across lines. Numerals are similarly weighty and traditional, matching the text figures in presence and contrast. The overall impression is cohesive and deliberate, prioritizing solidity and legibility over delicacy.
