A robust serif with strongly bracketed serifs, full terminals, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Strokes are thick with moderate modulation, and the joins and curves feel rounded rather than sharp, giving the letterforms a sturdy, slightly softened texture. The capitals are broad and confident, with traditional proportions and clear internal counters, while the lowercase keeps a conventional structure with compact apertures and substantial verticals. Numerals are heavy and stable, matching the text color of the letters for consistent emphasis.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine and newspaper-style typography, and book cover titles where a strong serif voice is needed. It also fits posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks that benefit from traditional credibility and a dense, high-impact text color.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking familiar print typography and a dependable editorial voice. Its weight and sturdy serif structure convey seriousness and confidence while retaining a warm, approachable classicism.
