A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and firmly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a subtly calligraphic taper at terminals, with rounded joins and open counters that keep the heavy weight readable. Proportions are generous, with broad capitals and sturdy lowercase forms; the numerals share the same weighty presence and traditional detailing. Overall spacing appears comfortable, supporting continuous text while retaining a strong, dark typographic color.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book work where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also serve in posters and institutional communications that benefit from a traditional, high-impact text face.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—confident and traditional rather than decorative. Its weight and sharp serifs add authority and seriousness, while the rounded modulation keeps it from feeling overly rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with added weight and contrast for stronger presence. It balances traditional construction with a slightly calligraphic finish to create authoritative typography that remains comfortable in longer blocks of text.
Capitals have a stately presence with crisp top serifs and controlled curves (notably in C, G, and S), and the lowercase shows a compact, sturdy build with clear differentiation between similar shapes. The overall rhythm favors legibility at display-to-text sizes, producing a consistent, emphatic texture across paragraphs.
