A sturdy serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and generously weighted main strokes. Curves are full and slightly squared off in places, giving counters a compact, sturdy feel and maintaining clear interior space at text sizes. The joins and terminals show subtle softening, avoiding razor-sharp finishes and lending a gently rounded, print-like texture. Capitals are wide and stable, while lowercase forms keep a straightforward, readable construction with a compact rhythm and confident vertical stress.
Well suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where a dense, authoritative serif presence is desired. It also fits editorial layouts, book and magazine covers, and brand marks that benefit from a classic, dependable tone and strong legibility.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and familiarity without feeling delicate. Its weight and sturdy serifs convey confidence and a slightly old-style, bookish warmth suited to established brands and institutions.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with extra robustness for impactful typography, balancing familiar serif construction with softened details to create a darker, more assertive page color.
The numerals are heavy and highly legible, with strong silhouettes that hold up well in display settings. The texture in paragraphs appears even and dark, suggesting it performs best when generous spacing and comfortable leading are available.
