A robust serif with braced, subtly flared terminals and a compact, confident silhouette. Strokes are strong and fairly even, with gentle modulation rather than sharp contrast, and the joins feel firmly bracketed. Counters are moderately open, while curves and bowls stay full and rounded, giving the face a solid “printed” texture at display sizes. Proportions read slightly compact in the lowercase with sturdy verticals, and the uppercase carries broad, stable forms that hold weight evenly across the line.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short text blocks where a strong serif presence is desirable. It can add weight and tradition to editorial layouts, cultural posters, labels, and brand marks that need a grounded, classic tone and high visual impact.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a familiar bookish presence. Its heavy, steady rhythm suggests credibility and permanence, leaning toward classic editorial and institutional typography rather than playful or delicate expression.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra heft and slightly flared finishing, creating a forceful, print-forward texture that reads as established and dependable. It prioritizes presence and legibility in display settings while maintaining conventional letterform structure.
In the sample text, the dense color and strong serifs create pronounced word shapes and a commanding headline voice. The numerals share the same stout construction and feel well-matched for setting dates, figures, and callouts alongside text.
