A robust text serif with bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show rounded joins and subtly flared terminals, giving a slightly oldstyle texture despite the strong weight. Counters are generous and the rhythm is steady, with moderate contrast and a calm, conventional stance. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with clear bowls and a two-storey “a,” while numerals appear substantial and readable with traditional proportions.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a strong, classic serif presence is desired, as well as book covers and editorial titling that benefits from traditional typography. It can also work for branding and packaging when a heritage or established tone is needed, especially in short-to-medium text blocks.
The overall tone feels traditional and authoritative, with an editorial, bookish character. Its weight and softened curves add warmth and confidence, lending a dependable, institutional voice rather than a delicate or fashion-forward one.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, conventional serif voice with added strength for impact, combining traditional proportions with confident weight for editorial and display-driven typography.
At display sizes the heavy strokes and deep ink traps at joins read as solid and cohesive, while the serif shaping helps maintain differentiation between similarly structured letters. The texture in paragraph-like settings remains even, favoring clarity over ornament.
