A robust serif with bracketed, slightly wedge-like terminals and a sturdy, even color in text. Strokes show moderate modulation, with thick verticals and tapered joins that keep counters open and readable. The capitals are broad and structured, with strong horizontals and decisive serifs, while the lowercase maintains a conventional rhythm and compact joins. Overall spacing and proportions feel steady and text-forward, with a substantial presence that holds up in larger sizes.
Works well for headlines and subheads where a classic serif voice is needed, and remains readable in short-to-medium text blocks such as magazine layouts, essays, or reports. The strong weight and clear serifs also suit branding applications that call for heritage and credibility, including packaging, certificates, and institutional communications.
The font projects a traditional, editorial tone—confident and authoritative without feeling ornate. Its weight and firm serif treatment give it a stately, institutional character suited to serious or classic messaging.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with extra visual authority, combining traditional proportions with a heavier, more impactful typographic color. The aim appears to be dependable legibility alongside a confident, editorial presence.
Round letters (like O and Q) are generously proportioned with smooth curvature, while diagonals (V, W, X) read sharp and stable due to the heavy stems and tapered ends. Numerals appear sturdy and highly legible, matching the strong typographic color of the letters.
