A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a confident, dark overall color. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with smooth transitions and rounded joins, giving the letterforms a slightly oldstyle texture despite the strong weight. Counters are moderately open and the curves are full, while verticals feel steady and stable; spacing reads even in text, producing a compact, newspaper-like rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, with traditional proportions that match the text face.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a strong serif texture is desirable. The weight and clear forms also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and title treatments, as well as brand systems that want a traditional, established voice.
The tone is classic and authoritative, evoking book typography, editorial tradition, and institutional materials. Its strong presence feels dependable and serious rather than delicate, with a warm, literary character that suits long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif with a sturdy presence, balancing traditional detailing with straightforward readability. Its emphasis is on clear rhythm and a confident page color for both prominent headings and dense text.
In the sample text the heavy color holds together well across multiple lines, and the serif shapes help guide the eye horizontally. The overall impression is conventional and familiar, designed to read clearly at display-to-text sizes without calling attention to stylistic novelty.
