A robust text serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sturdy, bracketed serifs. Curves are generous and round, with teardrop/ball terminals showing up in letters like a, c, f, and r, while joins and stems remain firm and vertical. Uppercase forms feel monument-like with wide bowls and clear internal counters (notably B, D, O), and the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm with moderate proportions and a compact, readable footprint. Numerals follow the same tradition: weighty, well-contained shapes with clear differentiation and slightly calligraphic finishing details.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and other long-form contexts that benefit from a classic serif texture, especially at moderate-to-large sizes. The heavier overall color and strong terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and formal brand applications where a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, leaning toward an established, bookish voice rather than a trendy or experimental one. Its strong presence and polished finishing give it a dignified, institutional feel suited to serious subject matter and classic branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with extra weight and presence, combining traditional proportions with crisp contrast and expressive terminals for emphasis. It prioritizes familiar letterforms and steady rhythm while adding enough personality in the serif and terminal treatment to stand out in display use.
Serifs are distinctly shaped and slightly flared at the ends, helping the heavy strokes feel anchored and stable. The forms stay conventional and legible in running text, with noticeable dark color and emphatic terminals that push it toward display-friendly text settings rather than delicate, airy typography.
