A robust serif with pronounced contrast and sturdy, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show compact proportions with a relatively even, disciplined rhythm and clearly differentiated thick and thin strokes. Round characters (C, O, Q) are full and weighty, while joins and terminals are sharpened by crisp edges and subtle flaring. The lowercase is compact with a moderate x-height, prominent ascenders, and a double-storey ‘g’ that reinforces a conventional text-serif structure; figures are lining and similarly weighty, with strong vertical stress.
Well suited to headlines and large text in editorial layouts where a strong, classical serif voice is desired. It can work for book covers, posters, and formal branding applications that benefit from a dense, authoritative texture, and it will generally prefer generous leading and spacing in longer passages.
The overall tone is classic and institutional, leaning toward editorial seriousness rather than casual warmth. Its dense color and confident detailing convey authority and tradition, with a slightly dramatic, bookish presence in larger settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif structure with heightened presence—combining familiar book-type proportions with a heavier, more declarative color for impactful setting. Its detailing emphasizes clarity of serif structure and a formal, printed-page character.
In text, the heavy serifs and tight counters produce a dark, emphatic texture that favors display sizes or roomy measure. The ampersand and punctuation follow the same assertive, traditional styling, supporting a cohesive, formal voice.
