A sturdy serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and a strong vertical stress. The strokes show a clear thick–thin contrast, with hairline joins and terminals kept crisp rather than rounded, giving the letterforms a sharp, print-oriented feel. Proportions are generous and broad, with open counters in most lowercase forms and compact, weighty joins that keep the texture dense in paragraphs. Uppercase shapes are classical and steady, while the lowercase maintains familiar book-face construction with clear differentiation and a solid, grounded baseline.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where a strong serif voice is desirable, such as headlines, book and magazine work, and high-impact pull quotes. It can also support short passages at larger sizes where the dense, high-contrast texture becomes a stylistic asset rather than a readability constraint.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, projecting authority and tradition. Its broad, dark presence reads as confident and slightly old-style in spirit, suitable for work that wants gravity rather than minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif look with extra presence—combining traditional construction and bracketed serifs with a broad set and emphatic contrast to hold attention in contemporary layouts.
In text, the strong contrast and wide set create a bold typographic color and prominent word shapes. Numerals are heavy and serifed, matching the text rhythm and reinforcing a classic, print-like character.
