A compact serif with sturdy, dark letterforms and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show modest contrast and a largely vertical stress, with softened joins and subtly rounded terminals that keep the texture from feeling brittle. Proportions are relatively tight, with short extenders and small counters that create a dense, even color in paragraphs. The lowercase is conventional and readable, with a double-storey a and g, and numerals that feel firmly integrated with the text weight.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads where a dense, traditional serif voice is needed, and it can also carry short passages or pull quotes when set with adequate size and spacing. Its sturdy build makes it effective for book-cover titling, posters, and packaging that aims for a classic, established feel.
The overall tone is classic and deliberate, projecting an editorial seriousness with a slightly old-style warmth. Its heavy, compact presence reads as confident and authoritative without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with extra weight and compactness, prioritizing a strong typographic color and dependable shapes for display-led editorial use.
In continuous text the font builds a strong, steady rhythm and a high-ink typographic color, making it best where firmness and presence are desired. The tight interior spaces and compact fit suggest it benefits from comfortable leading and not-too-small sizes for long passages.
