A robust serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and a sturdy, even rhythm. Strokes are thick with moderated contrast and rounded transitions at joins, giving counters a generous, readable openness. Proportions lean broad, with wide capitals and substantial lowercase forms; terminals are crisp but not razor-sharp, and curves (C, O, S) feel full and steady. The overall texture is dark and solid, suited to sizes where its weight and spacing can form a strong typographic color.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and editorial layouts where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also work for short passages, pull quotes, and packaging or branding applications that benefit from a traditional, confident texture.
The tone is classic and self-assured, with an editorial seriousness that suggests tradition and credibility. Its heavy, composed presence reads as authoritative and slightly formal rather than delicate or playful.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with extra weight and width for impact, maintaining familiar shapes while emphasizing solidity and presence in display-forward settings.
Letterforms show a consistent serif treatment across cases, with a clear hierarchy between sturdy verticals and round forms. Numerals match the weight and presence of the letters, producing a cohesive set for headlines and emphasis-driven text blocks.
