A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modeling and strongly bracketed serifs. The letterforms are wide-set with generous interior counters, giving the heavy weight room to breathe and keeping shapes open in text. Curves are full and rounded, with ball terminals visible on several lowercase forms, and joins show a slightly carved, ink-trap-like feeling where strokes meet. Numerals and capitals carry a stable, upright stance and a consistent, rhythmic texture across the alphabet.
Well suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where a strong serif presence is desired. It can also work for book and magazine applications, cover typography, and branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice. The wide proportions and open counters help it hold up in short paragraphs and larger blocks when set with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, leaning toward a traditional print voice. Its substantial forms and crisp contrast read as confident and formal, with a subtly old-style warmth from the rounded curves and terminals. In paragraphs it feels editorial and established rather than playful or experimental.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif voice with strong emphasis and clear readability. Its wide stance, open counters, and bracketed serif structure suggest a focus on sturdy, classic typography that remains composed under heavy weight.
At larger sizes the sculpted joins and terminals become more characterful, while in text the wide proportions help preserve legibility despite the strong weight. The texture is dense but even, producing solid emphasis without looking compressed.
