A robust serif design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms have broad proportions and a steady, upright stance, with relatively large counters and clear internal shapes. Terminals are squared and decisive, and the curves (notably in C, G, and S) show controlled contrast rather than calligraphic softness. Lowercase forms are sturdy and conventional, with a double-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and strong vertical stress throughout.
This font fits best in display-to-text crossover settings such as editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, pull quotes, and formal posters. Its substantial weight and crisp serif structure make it effective wherever a classic, authoritative voice is desired, particularly at medium and larger sizes.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, evoking print-era editorial typography and institutional seriousness. Its weight and contrast give it a commanding presence that feels well-suited to headlines and emphatic typographic voice, while still retaining a familiar, bookish character.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with extra impact: classic proportions and familiar construction paired with heavier strokes and clear contrast for emphasis. It prioritizes a strong typographic color and traditional credibility while maintaining straightforward, utilitarian letter shapes.
The numerals are heavy and highly legible with clear differentiation, and the uppercase forms read especially stately due to their width and firm serifs. In text, the rhythm is dense and assertive, with dark color and strong stroke endings that hold up well at larger sizes.
