A robust serif with bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads clearly at display sizes. Strokes show a slightly sculpted, calligraphic influence, with gently tapered terminals and subtly flared joins that keep counters open despite the heavy color. Proportions are fairly classical with moderate widths, a steady vertical stress, and a consistent rhythm across capitals and lowercase; numerals match the overall weight and carry the same serifed, high-contrast construction.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where strong contrast and a solid serif presence are desirable. It fits editorial layouts, book covers, and classic-leaning branding where a traditional tone and high-impact typography are needed; for long body text, it will be most comfortable at generous sizes and spacing due to its heavy color.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking classic print typography and institutional seriousness. Its weight and crisp contrast give it a confident, headline-ready voice while retaining a literary, bookish character.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, classic serif voice with added weight and contrast for emphasis, balancing old-style warmth with a more forceful, display-oriented presence.
In the sample text, the face creates strong typographic color and clear word shapes, with capitals that feel stately and slightly condensed in presence compared to the hefty lowercase. Curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) are smooth and controlled, and the diagonals (V, W, X, Y) retain sharpness without becoming spiky.
