A sturdy serif with bracketed, gently flared terminals and a compact, even rhythm. Strokes are robust and fairly uniform, with clear vertical stress and crisp joins that keep counters open despite the heavy color. The uppercase forms feel steady and classical, while the lowercase is compact with a rounded, slightly old-style texture; the two-storey “a” and “g” reinforce a text-oriented construction. Numerals are solid and readable, with familiar proportions and minimal ornamentation.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. Its darker color also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or brand marks that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is traditional and institutional, suggesting printed books, newspapers, and established brands. Its strong color and restrained detailing feel confident and authoritative without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-forward serif that prioritizes stability, readability, and a classic literary presence. It balances familiar proportions with a heavier, more assertive weight to hold up in demanding editorial and headline contexts.
At display sizes the face reads with a dense, confident presence, while in paragraph settings the consistent weight and bracketed serifs help maintain a smooth typographic flow. The shapes favor clarity and sturdiness over delicacy, giving the text a slightly condensed, no-nonsense texture.
