A robust serif with strongly bracketed, slightly flared serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. The letterforms are broad and weighty, with compact apertures and a steady, upright stance that reads distinctly in both caps and lowercase. Curves are sculpted and full (notably in bowls and round numerals), while joins and terminals show a subtle, old-style softness rather than razor-sharp geometry. Overall spacing feels generous in the caps and headline sample, producing a confident, blocky rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and display sizes where its strong serifs and high-contrast modeling can be appreciated. It also works well for editorial typography, book covers, and branding that needs a traditional yet forceful voice, and for figure-heavy applications where bold numerals should stand out.
The tone is classic and editorial, with an assertive, traditional presence that feels at home in print. Its heavy, sculpted forms suggest heritage and authority, while the slightly lively detailing keeps it from feeling purely formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened impact—amplifying classic proportions with heavier color, broad forms, and sculpted contrast for attention-grabbing editorial and branding use.
The capitals present a strong, steady silhouette with clear serif cues, and the numerals are bold and rounded for prominent figure setting. The lowercase maintains a conventional structure with sturdy stems and clearly defined dots, supporting readability while keeping a dense, emphatic texture.
