A sturdy serif with compact proportions, prominent bracketed serifs, and subtly flared stroke terminals that broaden into the joins. Strokes are broadly even with moderate thick–thin modulation, producing a dense, steady color in text. Curves are full and slightly squared at stress points, while counters stay relatively tight, reinforcing a solid, weighty rhythm. Uppercase forms feel formal and stable, and the lowercase shows traditional shapes with a two-storey a and g and strong, supportive serifs throughout.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and display copy where a classic serif voice is desired, especially in editorial layouts and book-cover typography. It can also work for short-form body text when set with generous spacing to preserve clarity and avoid a too-dark page tone.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly literary, editorial voice. Its weight and compactness give it a confident, emphatic presence, suggesting heritage publishing and institutional communication more than casual or contemporary styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif feel with extra emphasis and presence, using flared, bracketed serifs and compact proportions to produce a strong, confident texture. It prioritizes impact and authority while retaining conventional letterforms for familiar readability.
In sample text the heavy typographic color and tight internal spaces make it read best with comfortable size and leading, where the crisp serif structure and flared endings remain clear. Figures share the same sturdy, old-style-influenced construction, keeping numerals visually consistent with the letters.
