A robust serif with strongly bracketed serifs and a dark, even color. Stems are thick and steady, with moderate contrast and rounded transitions that keep joins and terminals from feeling sharp. The design favors broad proportions and generous counters; capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel while the lowercase remains open and readable. Serifs often show subtle beak-like shaping and softened corners, giving the letterforms a tactile, printed presence.
Well-suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where a strong, classic serif voice is needed. It works particularly well for editorial layouts, book and magazine titling, posters, and branding that benefits from a traditional, weighty typographic anchor.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with a familiar bookish warmth. Its heavy presence reads as authoritative and editorial, evoking classic printing and sturdy headline typography rather than delicate refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif personality with extra weight for impact, combining familiar old-style cues with sturdier proportions for dependable readability and strong presence in display settings.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman. Numerals match the weight and carry the same rounded, bracketed serif treatment, reinforcing a consistent, dense texture in running text.
