A sturdy serif with compact proportions, full counters, and clearly bracketed serifs that read as traditional rather than geometric. Strokes are weighty and fairly even, with subtle modulation and rounded joins that keep the texture dense but not brittle. The capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in their internal spaces, while the lowercase maintains a comfortable x-height with short ascenders/descenders and a strong, consistent rhythm. Numerals are robust and old-style in feeling, with rounded forms and firm terminals that match the text weight.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where a strong traditional serif presence is desired. It can also serve in editorial layouts and formal branding that benefits from a dense, authoritative text color.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting authority and familiarity. Its dark color on the page gives it a serious, editorial voice suited to traditional publishing and institutional settings.
The likely intention is a conventional, readable serif that delivers a confident, ink-rich presence while staying within familiar book-type norms. Its proportions and sturdy detailing prioritize a classic typographic voice over novelty.
The design favors clarity at larger text sizes and display settings, producing a confident, high-contrast-in-impact (though not in stroke modulation) texture. Serifs and terminals are pronounced enough to add character, while maintaining conventional letterforms and steady spacing for continuous reading.
