A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a sturdy, moderately contrasted stroke. Proportions are slightly condensed with strong verticals and rounded bowls, creating a compact, confident texture. Curves are smooth and generously shaped (notably in C, O, and G), while terminals and serifs remain crisp and decisive. The lowercase shows a double-storey a and g, a relatively small e aperture, and a compact rhythm that holds together well at text sizes; numerals are classic lining figures with substantial weight and clear forms.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other text-forward settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It should also work effectively for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative tone is needed.
The overall tone is established and literary, with a familiar page-like presence associated with print publishing. Its dark, steady color and traditional detailing project authority and seriousness without feeling overly delicate or ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for sustained reading: familiar letter skeletons, disciplined proportions, and robust serifs that create an even, dependable rhythm across paragraphs.
Caps have a strong, stable stance with broad horizontals and pronounced serifs, while the lowercase maintains a cohesive, slightly dense texture that favors readability over showy display. The heavier punctuation and dot elements (e.g., i/j) contribute to a firm, inked-in impression in running text.
