A sturdy serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and a dense, even color. Strokes show moderate contrast with full-bodied verticals and rounded joins, giving the letterforms a slightly softened, print-oriented texture rather than a razor-sharp one. Counters are fairly open for a heavy face, terminals are decisive, and the overall rhythm is steady and compact, supporting strong word shapes in both upper- and lowercase. Figures appear lining with clear, traditional proportions and substantial weight.
Well-suited to headlines, deck type, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice with strong presence is needed. It can also serve for book covers, posters, and branding systems that benefit from traditional authority and high contrast between text and background.
The font conveys a classic, institutional tone—confident and serious, with an editorial gravitas. Its weight and traditional serif detailing read as dependable and established, making it feel at home in contexts that want authority more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly legible serif with increased visual weight for emphasis, while preserving familiar proportions and classical detailing. It prioritizes solidity and clarity, producing a commanding typographic tone without drifting into decorative extremes.
The uppercase is broad and blocky with emphatic serifs, while the lowercase maintains legibility through sturdy stems and rounded bowls. In text, the bold presence creates strong emphasis and impact, favoring display and short-to-medium passages where a firm typographic voice is desired.
