A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that flare smoothly into the stems. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with open counters and a steady, upright stance, giving lines a dark, even color at display sizes. Curves show sculpted, slightly flattened joins and occasional ball-like terminals (notably in the lowercase), while the numerals and capitals feel solid and conventional with clear, readable silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, book and magazine typography, and other editorial settings where a strong serif presence is desirable. It can also work for classic-leaning branding and posters, especially where a dense, high-impact text color helps anchor the layout.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a bookish, institutional feel that suggests authority and seriousness. Its strong contrast and sturdy serifs create a distinctly editorial voice that reads as established rather than trendy.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly legible serif voice with extra weight and contrast for emphasis. It prioritizes familiar proportions and clear forms while adding subtle terminal and serif shaping to keep large-scale text lively and distinctive.
Round letters like O/C show clean, controlled contrast, and the lowercase includes a single-storey g with a prominent ear and a compact, weighty rhythm. The ampersand is bold and decorative enough to stand out as a typographic accent without drifting into novelty.
