A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed serifs. The capitals have generous width and steady, upright proportions, with crisp terminals and confident vertical stress that reads as traditional rather than decorative. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with rounded bowls and clear counters that stay open even in heavier strokes. Overall spacing and rhythm feel even and text-forward, balancing weighty stems with controlled, tapered joins for a solid, print-like color.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium passages where a strong, classic serif voice is desired, such as editorial layouts, magazine features, book covers, and display typography in posters. It can also serve for emphasis in body copy when set with comfortable leading and spacing.
The tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and a bookish seriousness. Its bold presence feels headline-ready while maintaining the familiar voice of conventional serif typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, traditional serif look with extra weight for impact, preserving readable, text-oriented construction while adding a confident display presence.
The numerals are substantial and highly legible, matching the weight and contrast of the letters for cohesive setting in titles and callouts. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls of o/p/q) show smooth, controlled shaping that keeps the texture consistent across lines.
