A robust serif with bracketed serifs, sturdy stems, and a noticeably heavy color on the page. Curves are full and rounded with moderate stroke modulation, while terminals and joins feel firmly constructed rather than delicate. The capitals are broad and steady, and the lowercase shows generous bowls with compact apertures, creating a dense, text-forward rhythm. Figures are similarly weighty and straightforward, matching the type’s overall solidity and print-like texture.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a strong serif texture is desired. It can also work for book and magazine covers, pull quotes, and poster copy where its dense color and classic structure help text stand out.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying authority and a bookish seriousness. Its strong presence and compact counters give it a confident, slightly old-style character that feels grounded and dependable rather than airy or modern.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented serif with added heft—aiming for a familiar literary foundation while delivering stronger emphasis for display and editorial hierarchies.
At larger sizes the weight reads as intentionally emphatic, with tight internal spaces that increase the perceived darkness and add impact in headlines. In paragraph settings it creates a strong typographic “voice,” favoring emphasis and presence over delicacy.
