A robust serif with broad, generously proportioned letters and a steady, dark rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation with rounded joins, and the serifs are firmly bracketed with slightly flared, wedge-like terminals that read crisply at display sizes. Counters are ample and mostly round, while curves transition smoothly into stems, giving the face a cohesive, carved-in feel. Lowercase forms are sturdy and traditional, with a two-storey “g” and a compact, anchored “a,” and the numerals appear wide and weighty with strong, stable footing.
This face is well-suited to headlines and short to medium-length editorial text where a strong, traditional serif presence is desired. It can anchor book covers, magazine feature titles, and formal branding systems that benefit from a stately, heritage-leaning typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a confident, editorial voice. Its broad stance and emphatic serifs lend a dignified, old-style warmth that feels established rather than trendy, making it read as dependable and institutional while still inviting.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with extra visual authority and horizontal emphasis, combining classic letterforms with sturdy proportions for impactful typography in both titles and text-forward layouts.
The design emphasizes horizontal presence: wide bowls, open apertures, and pronounced terminals create a distinctive texture that stays legible even in dense settings. The sample text shows consistent color across lines, with punctuation and dots appearing stout and clearly cut.
