A robust serif with pronounced stroke modulation and strongly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show oldstyle influence: rounded bowls, a gently diagonal axis, and soft transitions into terminals that feel carved rather than geometric. Counters are compact and the overall color is dense, with sturdy stems and tapered joins that keep the shapes crisp at display sizes. Lowercase features a single-storey “g” and traditional, slightly varied widths that give text an organic rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other display-driven editorial settings where a dark, classic serif can provide gravity and contrast. It can also work for short passages such as intros, quotes, and captions when a traditional, print-oriented voice is desired.
The font conveys a traditional, authoritative tone with an editorial and bookish presence. Its weight and contrast read as confident and formal, leaning toward established print typography rather than minimalist modernity.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, traditional serif texture with a strong, attention-holding weight—balancing oldstyle warmth with enough sharpness and contrast for impactful titles and editorial typography.
Figures are heavy and sturdy, with clear differentiation and a classic lining feel in the samples shown. Capitals are broad and stable, and punctuation appears strong enough to hold up in dense settings, supporting emphatic headlines and pull quotes.
