A sturdy, high-contrast serif with prominent bracketed wedge serifs and a confident, dark overall color. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with strong verticals and tapered joins that keep counters open despite the weight. Proportions lean slightly condensed in many capitals, while lowercase forms are compact with a moderate x-height and relatively short ascenders/descenders. Terminals are crisp and often tapered, and the numerals are full-bodied and traditional in construction, matching the text rhythm closely.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads where a strong serif voice is needed, and it can also serve for short-to-medium passages of text when a darker, more assertive color is desired. It fits academic or institutional materials, book and magazine typography, and brand identities that benefit from a traditional, authoritative serif.
The tone is classic and institutional, conveying seriousness and credibility. Its dense presence and sharp, traditional detailing read as editorial and bookish rather than casual, with a familiar “print” character suited to formal communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, dependable serif voice with added emphasis from weight and contrast, balancing readability with a confident, print-forward texture. It prioritizes classic proportions and familiar detailing to feel established and trustworthy across display and text applications.
The face maintains a steady baseline and consistent serif treatment across cases, producing a stable, emphatic texture in paragraphs. At larger sizes the tapered serifs and high-contrast shaping become more noticeable and add a slightly dramatic, old-style flavor without becoming ornamental.
