A sturdy serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a compact overall stance. Strokes are heavy and confident with moderate modulation, producing clear thick–thin structure without becoming delicate. Counters tend to be on the smaller side and apertures are relatively closed, giving the text a dark, cohesive texture. The lowercase shows rounded, oldstyle-leaning details such as ball-like terminals and soft joins, while capitals are broad and stable with pronounced serifs and strong verticals.
It performs well in headlines and short blocks where its strong color and confident serifs can create impact, such as editorial titles, book covers, magazine display, and poster typography. In mixed-case settings, it maintains a cohesive rhythm that can support pull quotes and prominent subheads.
The font projects a classic, bookish seriousness with an editorial, slightly old-world flavor. Its dense color and emphatic serifs lend an authoritative, formal tone suited to established institutions and traditional publishing.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra weight for emphasis, combining classical proportions and bracketed serifs with rounded, expressive terminals to create a distinctive, readable display texture.
Letterforms show lively, somewhat calligraphic shaping in curves and terminals, which keeps the texture from feeling mechanical despite the strong weight. Numerals appear robust and straightforward, matching the capitals’ sturdy presence and maintaining consistent color in mixed text.
