A sturdy serif with broad proportions, compact curves, and low stroke modulation. Serifs are pronounced and smoothly bracketed, with subtly flared, weighty terminals that give stems a planted, sculpted feel. Bowls and counters are relatively open for the weight, while joins are rounded and slightly softened, supporting an even, steady rhythm in text. Uppercase forms are blocky and assertive; lowercase shows traditional, two-storey structures (notably a and g) with strong verticals and short, firm finishing strokes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a solid serif voice is needed. It can also support branding and packaging that calls for a traditional yet forceful typographic signature, and editorial layouts that benefit from a dense, confident typographic color.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, with a classic, institution-ready presence. Its bold, grounded shapes communicate confidence and seriousness while the softened bracketing keeps it from feeling harsh or overly mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, classic serif voice with sturdy construction and subtly flared finishing that adds character without relying on high contrast. It emphasizes impact and legibility, aiming for a familiar, editorial feel with a slightly sculpted, contemporary firmness.
The numerals appear heavy and highly legible, with simple, stable forms and consistent width that aligns well with the strong capitals. In the sample text, the texture reads dense and emphatic, favoring impact and clarity over delicacy.
