A sturdy serif with bracketed wedge-like terminals and a compact, vertical rhythm. Strokes are thick with moderate modulation and rounded joins that keep counters open despite the heavy color. Uppercase forms feel broadly classical with slightly flared serifs and confident horizontals, while the lowercase shows oldstyle influence through a two-storey “a,” a double-storey “g,” and a gently angled ear on “g.” Numerals are strong and readable, with ample weight and simple, stable shapes suited to text and headings.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and titles where a strong serif voice is needed. It also fits book-cover typography and packaging that benefits from a classic, premium feel, while remaining readable for short-to-medium text passages when set with adequate leading.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking printed literature, newspapers, and institutional typography. Its heavy presence reads confident and dependable, with a warm, slightly old-world character rather than a sharp contemporary edge.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented serif with extra heft for impact, combining traditional proportions with sturdy detailing for reliable readability and presence in display and editorial contexts.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep the dense weight from clogging, and the letterforms maintain consistent serif treatment across caps and lowercase. The design favors clarity and solidity over delicacy, making it feel especially comfortable in larger text sizes and emphatic settings.
