A robust serif with generously filled strokes and clearly bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a sturdy, anchored feel. Curves are smooth and fairly round (notably in C, O, and G), while terminals and joins stay crisp, producing a steady text rhythm. Proportions lean compact, with strong verticals and rounded bowls; counters remain open enough for readability despite the heavy color. Numerals follow the same weight and serif logic, reading clearly with a classic, print-oriented texture.
Well suited to headlines and short-to-medium editorial settings where a strong, classical serif presence is desired. It can work effectively for book and magazine typography, cover lines, posters, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying authority and a bookish seriousness. Its heavy presence and conventional construction suggest reliability and formality rather than playfulness, making it feel at home in established publishing contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, classic serif reading experience with extra weight for impact, balancing conventional proportions and bracketed serifs to maintain clarity while producing a dark, confident typographic color.
In continuous text the font creates a dense, high-contrast page color with pronounced word shapes and stable baselines. The serif treatment is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive, classical typographic voice.
