A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed serifs. The letterforms are wide-shouldered and compact in their counters, producing a dense, dark page color and confident horizontal emphasis. Capitals are broad and stately, with crisp terminals and clear wedge-like joins; lowercase follows a traditional text model with a rounded, two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a double-storey “g.” Numerals are weighty and highly legible, matching the overall firmness of the text color.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display-forward editorial settings where a strong, classic serif presence is desirable. It also works well for book covers and pull quotes, and can be used in short text passages where a darker, more emphatic texture is acceptable.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with an old-style, editorial seriousness that reads as established and trustworthy. Its strong contrast and compact interior spaces add a slightly dramatic, high-impact presence suited to confident messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, time-tested serif voice with heightened impact—combining classic proportions with stronger contrast and a darker overall color for emphatic editorial typography.
In paragraphs the type maintains a steady rhythm and consistent stem weight, giving headings and short blocks a commanding feel. The robust serifs and tightened counters make it especially effective when you want a bold typographic voice without moving into slab-serif territory.
