A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a steady, moderately contrasted stroke. The curves are full and slightly rounded, with open counters and a calm, even rhythm across the alphabet. Capitals feel stately and compact, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions and clear differentiation (notably the two-storey a and g). Numerals are sturdy and readable, aligning well with the text color and overall weight.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and title typography where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also work for book and long-form reading in larger sizes, as well as posters and branded collateral that benefits from a classic, authoritative texture.
The tone is traditional and confident, evoking book typography and established editorial voices. Its heavier presence lends an assertive, trustworthy feel suited to serious or institutional messaging while remaining approachable through softened joins and rounded bowls.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, dependable serif with extra heft for presence and clarity. It prioritizes familiar forms and consistent rhythm, aiming for versatility in publishing and formal communication rather than stylistic experimentation.
Serifs are distinctly shaped and well-bracketed rather than slab-like, giving a carved, print-oriented impression. The overall color is dark and cohesive, supporting legibility at larger text and display sizes without appearing overly ornamental.
