A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, sharp terminals, and clearly bracketed serifs that read as traditional rather than slab-like. The capitals are broad and steady, with strong vertical stress and clean, open counters (notably in C, G, O, and Q). Lowercase forms keep a conventional structure with sturdy stems, compact joins, and rounded bowls; the two-storey a and g and the angled ear of g reinforce a classic text-serif construction. Overall spacing feels slightly generous for a bold serif, producing a stable rhythm and clear word shapes in paragraphs.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and title typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for book and magazine covers, institutional or heritage-flavored branding, and short-to-medium text passages where a darker, more emphatic text color is appropriate.
The tone is formal and confident, with an old-style editorial gravity that suggests printed tradition and institutional credibility. Its strong contrast and crisp finishing add a sense of polish, while the substantial weight keeps it assertive and headline-ready.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented serif with heightened presence: classic letterforms and bracketed serifs combined with a strong stroke economy to deliver impact without departing from familiar text typography.
The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent upright voice with firm serifs and minimal ornament. Numerals are sturdy and readable, with traditional proportions that match the text color in mixed settings.
