A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Capitals are broad and steady with generous inner counters, while lowercase shows a slightly oldstyle rhythm with rounded joins and a double-storey “g.” Terminals and serifs are crisp but not razor-sharp, giving the shapes a firm, carved feel. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, with rounded bowls and clear differentiation between forms.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, newspapers, and book typography, especially where a traditional serif voice is desired. The sturdy letterforms and clear counters also suit display uses like section headings, posters, and brand wordmarks that need a classic, formal feel.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a classic bookish presence that feels established and trustworthy. Its strong contrast and solid serifs add a sense of seriousness suited to formal communication and editorial settings.
Likely designed as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with extra weight and width to deliver strong presence in both display and reading contexts. The emphasis appears to be on classic proportions, dependable readability, and a dignified, editorial character.
The font maintains a consistent, even color at text sizes, with confident verticals and carefully controlled curves. Wide capitals and prominent serifs make it read as assertive in headlines while still retaining conventional text-serif manners.
