A robust serif with pronounced, bracketed wedge serifs and a confident, weighty color on the page. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded joins and subtly tapered terminals, creating a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm without becoming ornate. Counters are generously open for a bold text face, and the proportions lean broad with stable verticals and assertive horizontals. The numerals and capitals read sturdy and formal, while the lowercase maintains a familiar text structure with clear bowls and well-defined shoulders.
Well-suited for editorial headlines and subheads where a strong serif voice is needed, and it can also serve for short-to-medium passages in print when a darker typographic color is desirable. It fits book and magazine work, posters, pull quotes, and branding that benefits from a traditional, established tone.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in books and institutional settings. Its heavier presence adds confidence and emphasis, lending a slightly old-style, scholarly character rather than a sleek or minimalist one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with extra heft and presence, aiming to balance traditional book-type cues with a more emphatic, attention-holding weight for editorial and display use.
Serifs remain distinct at text sizes, giving strong baseline and cap-line anchoring. The rhythm is consistent across the alphabet, with a traditional, print-forward texture that favors clarity and presence over delicacy.
