A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and bracketed serifs that taper to crisp, triangular terminals. The letterforms show generous proportions and open counters, with a steady, vertical rhythm and clear differentiation between thick stems and thinner connecting strokes. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly softened by bracketing at joins, while diagonals and crossbars stay firm and weighty, producing a confident, print-oriented texture at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where strong contrast and pronounced serifs can contribute character and hierarchy. It also fits editorial applications such as magazine titling and book covers, and can support branding that aims for heritage or authority. For longer passages, it will likely be most comfortable at moderate sizes with adequate leading to keep the bold texture from feeling dense.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting tradition, credibility, and a slightly bookish formality. Its strong presence and crisp finishing give it an assertive voice suited to serious or institutional messaging rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, dependable serif voice with extra weight and contrast for impact. Its bracketing and classic proportions point toward a traditional reading model, adapted to perform strongly in display and editorial typography.
Capitals read particularly stately due to broad forms and emphatic serifs, while the lowercase maintains familiar text-serif construction with a compact, sturdy feel. Numerals appear similarly weighty and clear, matching the typeface’s strong contrast and decisive terminals for cohesive headlines and short text settings.
