This serif has sturdy, compact letterforms with bracketed serifs and a clearly defined, moderately contrasted stroke pattern. Curves are full and rounded, with crisp joins and relatively short, confident serifs that keep the texture dense on the line. Counters remain open despite the strong weight, and the lowercase shows a classic, two-storey “a” and “g” with a sturdy, readable rhythm. Numerals appear oldstyle in feel, with varying widths and traditional proportions that sit comfortably alongside the text.
It performs well for book and magazine typography where a firm, confident serif is needed, and it also scales effectively into display sizes for headlines and subheads. The weight and compact rhythm make it useful for editorial layouts, packaging copy, and identity systems that want a classic, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and familiarity rather than novelty. Its strong presence and classical detailing suggest a serious, bookish voice suited to established institutions and print-centric design.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with extra heft for strong page color, maintaining familiar proportions and details to stay highly legible in continuous reading. Its restrained shaping prioritizes dependable, versatile typography across both text and prominent titling.
Spacing and fit read as text-oriented, producing an even, dark typographic color in paragraphs. The forms favor clarity over ornament, with conventional terminals and restrained personality that supports long-form reading.
