This typeface is a sturdy, high-contrast serif with pronounced, bracketed wedge serifs and a distinctly vertical, traditional stance. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with crisp joins and a compact, slightly condensed rhythm in the capitals. The lowercase is robust and rounded, featuring ball terminals and tight apertures that create dense, ink-friendly color at text sizes. Figures are similarly weighty and classical, with strong vertical stress and prominent serifs that keep numerals aligned with the overall texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a strong serif voice is needed, particularly in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes. Its dense color and pronounced contrast also fit formal print applications such as programs, invitations, certificates, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic, established tone.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial and literary feel. Its heavy, sculpted forms suggest seriousness and institutional polish, while the rounded terminals add a mild warmth that keeps it from feeling overly severe.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, dependable serif with a darker, more emphatic presence than a typical text face, balancing classical proportions with bold, sculpted detailing for confident reading and display use.
The sample text shows a dark, even typographic color and a cohesive serif system across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The letterforms favor conventional proportions and conservative detailing, emphasizing legibility and stability over openness or novelty.
