A robust serif with broad proportions, generous horizontal sweep, and clearly bracketed serifs that read as wedge-like at the ends. Strokes show moderate contrast with thick, weighty main stems and smoother, tapered joins, giving the forms a carved, confident feel rather than a brittle one. Uppercase shapes are wide and open (notably in C, G, O, Q), with ample counters and rounded bowls; the lowercase follows with a steady rhythm and substantial curves, plus a two-storey g and compact, round i/j dots. Numerals are heavy and display-oriented, with rounded interior spaces and strong, stable feet where applicable.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial typography where its wide letterforms and strong serifs can project authority and presence. It also fits book covers, posters, and identity work that benefits from a classic, high-impact serif with readable counters at display sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking established editorial and institutional typography. Its broad stance and full-weight curves lend a confident, somewhat old-style warmth, balancing seriousness with approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, time-tested serif voice with added width and heft for emphasis, aiming for strong shelf and page presence while maintaining familiar text-serif structure.
The serif treatment is consistent across the set, with soft bracketing and subtly flared terminals that help prevent the heavy weight from feeling blunt. Spacing in the samples appears comfortable for larger text settings, where the open counters and wide letters keep words from clogging.
