A robust text serif with bracketed, triangular serifs and sturdy, slightly condensed counters that create a dark, even page color. Strokes are strongly weighted with moderate contrast and smooth, rounded joins, giving the forms a solid, carved-in feel rather than a delicate hairline look. The lowercase shows compact proportions with a clear two-storey “g” and a single-storey “a”, while capitals are broad and steady with prominent serifs and confident verticals. Numerals appear similarly weighty and built for consistency, maintaining strong alignment and a firm baseline presence.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also work for book and magazine typography, especially in display sizes or short passages, and for branding that aims for a traditional, authoritative impression.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, suited to traditional editorial typography. Its heavy, assured shapes convey seriousness and credibility, with a slightly old-style, bookish warmth rather than a sharp modern neutrality.
Likely designed as a conventional serif for readable, high-impact typography, balancing traditional proportions with heavier strokes for emphasis. The design prioritizes a stable rhythm and a confident presence in both capitals and lowercase.
The font’s dense color and generous serifs make it especially noticeable at larger sizes, where the bracketed details and rounded terminals read clearly. In longer settings it maintains a strong rhythm, favoring impact and clarity over an airy, delicate texture.
