A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are upright and broadly proportioned, with generous inner counters and a steady rhythm that reads confidently at display and text sizes. Curves are full and smoothly joined, while terminals and serifs come to sharp, triangular points; the overall texture is dark and even, with clear vertical emphasis and controlled contrast through bowls and joins.
It works well for editorial headlines, book and magazine typography, and other applications that benefit from a traditional serif voice with strong presence. The sturdy construction and clear counters also make it a good choice for short blocks of text, pull quotes, and formal brand systems that need a confident, classic tone.
The font projects a traditional, editorial tone—confident and institutional, with a slightly engraved, bookish character. Its weight and contrast lend it a sense of seriousness and authority, making it feel suited to established publishing and heritage-oriented branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, book- and newspaper-like serif texture with extra impact, balancing familiar text-serif construction with a heavier presence for titles and prominent copy. Its consistent serif treatment and measured contrast suggest a focus on clarity, authority, and a timeless typographic voice.
Uppercase forms feel stately and stable, supported by strong vertical stems and firm serif feet. The lowercase shows familiar oldstyle cues in the two-storey a and g, contributing to a classic reading texture, while the numerals appear sturdy and highly legible with clear differentiation between shapes.
