A robust serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced contrast between thick stems and finer hairlines. The serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving terminals a carved, sculptural feel rather than a purely mechanical one. Uppercase forms read broad and steady with generous counters, while lowercase shows compact, sturdy shapes and clearly defined joins. Overall spacing and rhythm favor solidity and presence, with crisp interior shapes that hold up at display sizes.
This font is well suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where a strong classic serif voice is desired. It fits editorial layouts, book and magazine covers, posters, and packaging that benefit from a traditional yet forceful typographic presence. For extended body text, it will be most comfortable at moderate sizes with adequate leading due to its weight and contrast.
The face projects a traditional, authoritative tone with an editorial, bookish character. Its heavy presence and crisp contrast lend it a formal, institutional voice suited to confident statements and classic branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with elevated impact—combining classic proportions and bracketed serifs with a heavier, more attention-grabbing build for prominent text roles.
The italic is not shown; all samples present a consistent upright roman. Numerals appear lining and sturdy, matching the weight and serif treatment of the capitals for cohesive headline and titling use.
