A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a strong, even rhythm. Strokes are solid and confident with moderate thick–thin differentiation, giving counters a dark, weighty texture without collapsing. The serifs often finish in sharp, slightly beaked points, and joins show gentle bracketing rather than hard slab endings. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase keeps a traditional structure with compact apertures and sturdy bowls, yielding a dense, readable color at text sizes and a commanding presence in display.
Works well for editorial typography where a strong serif voice is desired—magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes. It can also serve book or longform settings when a darker typographic color is acceptable, and it fits branding for institutions, publishing, or heritage-oriented products. In posters and titles, the sharp serif details add character without relying on ornament.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a slightly dramatic, old-style edge created by the pointed serif details. It reads as formal and dependable—suited to content that wants heritage, seriousness, and emphasis rather than neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with added impact: sturdy proportions, assertive serifs, and a dense typographic color that holds up in both display lines and more extended text settings.
The face maintains consistent stroke endings and serif behavior across letters and figures, producing a cohesive, high-impact texture. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and presence, supporting strong hierarchy in headlines and pull quotes.
