This serif face is built on sturdy, fairly broad letterforms with pronounced bracketed serifs and a confident, dark overall color. Strokes show moderate contrast, with rounded joins and softly tapered terminals that keep the shapes from feeling overly sharp. The lowercase has a steady rhythm and open counters, while capitals appear compact and authoritative, with clear horizontal serifs and smoothly curved bowls. Numerals are weighty and stable, matching the text forms and maintaining consistent presence in running copy.
It suits editorial headlines and subheads where a strong, classic serif voice is needed, and it also performs well in print-forward applications such as books, magazines, and brochures. The weight and presence make it a good choice for posters and short blocks of copy that need a traditional, authoritative tone.
The tone reads classic and editorial, with a traditional, bookish seriousness and a confident, institutional feel. Its strong texture and familiar serif detailing suggest reliability and authority without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable serif for reading environments, combining traditional proportions with a darker, more forceful texture for emphasis in editorial typography.
In paragraph settings the font creates a dense, even texture that emphasizes firmness and structure. The serif treatment stays consistent across the alphabet, and the overall drawing favors solidity and legibility over delicacy.
