A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and relatively compact counters, giving the letterforms a dense, ink-rich color. Serifs are clearly bracketed and confidently cut, with a mix of wedge-like and beak-like finishing that reads crisply at display sizes. Round letters show strong vertical stress and tight apertures, while joins and crotches (notably in forms like V/W and the diagonals of K) create deep interior notches that add sparkle. The lowercase includes distinctive ball terminals (e.g., on the ear of “g”) and a single-storey “g,” contributing to a slightly idiosyncratic, oldstyle-leaning texture within an otherwise conventional serif framework.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a strong serif voice is desired. It can support editorial and book-cover typography, as well as branding that needs a classic, established tone. For longer passages, it will benefit from larger point sizes and comfortable tracking/leading to balance its dense color.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and seriousness with a slightly expressive, historic flavor. Its bold presence and sharp finishing details feel confident and institutional, yet the rounded terminals and lively joins keep it from feeling overly rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading of tradition and credibility while adding character through high contrast, bracketed serifs, and a few oldstyle-like lowercase details. The strong weight suggests an emphasis on impact and legibility in display and editorial settings.
The numerals appear sturdy and display-oriented, with ample weight and clear silhouettes; the “2” and “3” show pronounced top terminals, and the “4” has a strong, open construction. In text, the heavy stroke weight and tight internal spaces create a dark, emphatic rhythm that favors larger sizes or generous spacing.
