A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes are broad and confident, with rounded joins and softened corners that keep the weight from feeling mechanical. Counters are relatively tight and apertures lean toward closed, giving the face a compact, inky color. Lowercase forms show a traditional, text-oriented construction with a two-storey a and g, a slightly calligraphic flow, and occasional ball-like terminals; numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and extenders.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can work for book covers, magazine/editorial layouts, and packaging or labels that benefit from a classic, authoritative texture. For extended small-size reading, it will typically be most comfortable with generous leading and careful spacing to offset its dense color.
The overall tone is classic and weighty, projecting a bookish, institutional confidence. Its dark texture and traditional detailing suggest seriousness and authority rather than light, airy refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, classical serif voice with strong contrast and a deliberately dark typographic color. Its details prioritize recognizable, traditional letterforms and a confident presence for editorial and display settings.
In text, the rhythm is steady and dense, with strong vertical emphasis and clear word-shape at larger sizes. The heavier serifs and tight spacing can make long passages feel dark, while headings gain a commanding, editorial presence.
