A sturdy text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a fairly compact, upright stance. Strokes show clear vertical stress with moderately tapered joins and softened corners, giving the letterforms a slightly rounded, inked-in feel rather than a crisp, mechanical finish. Capitals are broad and weighty with strong top serifs and stable horizontals, while the lowercase maintains a regular rhythm with a single-storey g and noticeable ball/teardrop terminals in places. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and a more calligraphic flow, complementing the traditional text color.
It suits long-form editorial and book typography where a strong serif texture is desirable, especially in print. The weight and pronounced serifs also make it effective for section heads, pull quotes, and traditional branding marks that need a solid, heritage-leaning presence.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting established print traditions and a confident, authoritative voice. Its heavy, dark presence feels dependable and slightly nostalgic, suitable for communication that aims to appear serious and time-tested.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, high-ink text serif with a familiar reading rhythm and a robust page color. Its detailing emphasizes tradition—bracketed serifs, vertical stress, and oldstyle numerals—while keeping forms sturdy enough for assertive editorial display.
Counters are generally generous for the weight, helping maintain legibility in dense settings, while the prominent serifs and terminals add texture in headlines. The design shows subtle irregularities in curves and terminals that keep it from feeling sterile, lending warmth in larger sizes.
