A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and compact, well-contained letterforms. Serifs are clearly bracketed with a slightly wedge-like feel, producing firm entry and exit strokes without becoming slabby. Counters are moderate and mostly closed, with a steady vertical stress and rounded joins that keep the heavy weight from looking brittle. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a curved-shoulder r, and ball terminals (notably on f), while figures are lining with strong, structured shapes and ample weight in the diagonals.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its weight and contrast can deliver strong presence. It also fits book covers and editorial branding that call for a traditional serif voice, and it can work for short passages when a darker, emphatic typographic color is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting seriousness and authority. Its heavy, high-contrast texture reads as confident and traditional, with a bookish, institutional flavor that suits heritage or established brands.
The design appears intended as a conventional, full-bodied text serif pushed toward display impact, combining familiar book-type proportions with heightened contrast and confident serifing for a strong page presence.
The rhythm is dense and even, creating a dark text color that holds together well at display and subhead sizes. Capital forms feel stately and upright, while the lowercase maintains a conventional, readable silhouette with clear differentiation between similar shapes.
