A sturdy serif with pronounced stroke contrast and firmly bracketed serifs. The letterforms are broad and well-supported, with open counters and a confident, steady rhythm across lines. Curves are full and slightly squarish in their turning, while joins and terminals stay clean and controlled; several glyphs show rounded or ball-like terminals that add a subtle warmth. Numerals match the text color with generous width and strong vertical presence.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial titling where a strong serif voice is needed. It also fits book and magazine covers, pull quotes, and heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a classic, authoritative texture. In shorter text blocks it can provide impactful emphasis thanks to its weight and contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting confidence and gravity without feeling overly ornate. Its bold, high-contrast build reads as formal and assertive, lending a classic, print-forward character suited to serious or heritage-leaning messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, recognizable serif silhouette with extra emphasis and clarity, balancing classic proportions with a more forceful presence for display and editorial applications.
In text, the font produces a dark, even typographic color and holds its shape well at display sizes, with clear differentiation between similar forms. The proportions favor presence over delicacy, and the serif treatment keeps the texture distinctly literary rather than geometric or minimal.
