This is a robust, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a largely vertical stress. Thick stems and thinner hairlines create a crisp light–dark rhythm, while the serifs are firm and slightly tapered rather than slab-like. Proportions read slightly compact with moderate apertures and rounded bowls, giving the texture a dense, ink-on-paper feel. The lowercase shows a double-storey a and g, a fairly sturdy i/j with prominent dots, and a t with a short, strong crossbar; numerals are similarly weighty with clear differentiation and traditional curves.
It performs especially well for headlines, editorial display, and book or magazine typography where a strong serif presence is desirable. The dense color and contrast also make it suitable for posters and brand marks that need a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and institutional, with a confident, somewhat old-style gravitas. It feels suited to contexts that benefit from tradition and clarity, projecting seriousness more than playfulness. The heavy color and sharp contrast add a sense of emphasis and drama without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif with heightened weight and contrast for impactful reading and display, preserving traditional letterforms and familiar proportions while delivering a bold, confident typographic color.
In the sample text, the font produces a dark, even typographic color with pronounced serifs that help maintain line rhythm at larger sizes. The curves on letters like C, G, O, and Q are smooth and rounded, while terminals and joins stay crisp, supporting a formal, print-oriented impression.
