A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modeling and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes taper into wedge-like feet and arms, with several terminals finishing in soft teardrop/ball shapes that give the outlines a slightly calligraphic, inked character. Proportions lean compact with generous weight in the stems, while counters remain open enough to keep forms from clogging at text sizes. The lowercase shows a rounded, oldstyle rhythm (notably in a, e, g, and y), and the numerals are substantial and oldstyle-leaning in feel, matching the overall dense, print-oriented color.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a rich typographic color is desirable, and it can also carry headlines and display lines with a traditional, premium feel. Its weight and contrast make it effective in print branding, packaging, and poster typography where strong serif character is needed.
The font reads as classic and editorial, with a confident, somewhat historical tone. Its heavy presence and traditional detailing suggest authority and gravitas, while the rounded terminals add warmth and a faintly vintage, printed texture.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with amplified weight and contrast for a darker, more assertive page color. The combination of bracketed serifs and rounded terminals suggests an intention to balance authority with a subtly human, printed warmth.
Caps appear slightly condensed and strongly sculpted, with clear serif anchoring that helps maintain alignment across lines. The italic is not shown; the overall impression here is a consistent roman voice with moderate variability in letter widths that creates a natural, book-like rhythm.
