A robust serif with bracketed serifs, firm vertical stress, and a broad, steady stance. Strokes are thick and confident with moderate contrast, producing a dark, even color in text. Capitals are wide and stable with crisp terminals, while lowercase forms are compact and readable, featuring a two-storey “a” and “g,” strong vertical stems, and relatively small apertures that emphasize density. Numerals match the weight and presence of the letters, with clear, traditional shapes suited to continuous reading.
Works well for headlines, subheads, and cover typography where a strong serif presence is desired. It also fits editorial layouts, packaging, and formal collateral that benefits from a traditional tone and a dense, high-contrast text color at larger sizes.
The tone is classic and authoritative, leaning toward editorial and institutional use. Its heavy, ink-rich texture and conventional serif detailing convey seriousness and reliability, with a distinctly bookish, traditional voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, conventional serif voice with added weight and presence, balancing traditional letterforms with a sturdy, modern production feel for impactful text setting.
In paragraph settings the face builds a pronounced typographic color, making it well-suited to display text and emphatic headings, while remaining structured enough for short-to-medium body copy. The overall rhythm is steady and conventional, with consistent serif treatment and a restrained, workmanlike elegance rather than ornamental flourish.
