A dark, high-color serif with sturdy verticals, moderate stroke modulation, and pronounced bracketed serifs that broaden into subtly flared endings. Curves are full and slightly condensed in places, with crisp, tapered terminals that read as teardrops or small balls on several lowercase forms. The rhythm is firmly vertical and stable, with compact internal counters and confident, sculpted joins that keep the texture dense and authoritative in setting.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine typography, and other applications where a dense, authoritative serif texture is desirable. It can also work for pull quotes and branding that needs a traditional, cultivated voice, especially at display and larger text sizes where the flared details and terminals stay clear.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a stately, traditional presence that feels at home in literary or institutional contexts. Its weight and crisp terminals add a slightly dramatic, old-style seriousness without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, traditional serif voice with added warmth and character through flared endings and shaped terminals. It prioritizes a confident page color and a classical reading rhythm while offering enough distinctive detailing to stand out in display use.
Capitals show strong, symmetrical construction and pronounced top serifs, while the lowercase mixes sturdy stems with lively terminals that add personality at text sizes. Numerals match the heavy color and serifed structure, maintaining a consistent, formal texture across mixed copy.
