A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The forms feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic, with a steady vertical stress and smooth transitions into terminals. Uppercase proportions are traditional and stable, while the lowercase shows a moderately large x-height with compact counters and distinctive, slightly angled entry/exit strokes. Numerals are sturdy and legible, matching the strong text color and the font’s controlled, conventional rhythm.
Works well for editorial layouts, long-form reading, and book or magazine typography where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for display sizes—chapter titles, pull quotes, and headlines—thanks to its crisp contrast and weighty presence.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority and seriousness without feeling overly ornate. Its strong contrast and confident serifs give it an editorial voice—suited to content that wants to feel established, trustworthy, and polished.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers a confident page color and classical proportions. It balances readability with a refined, print-oriented finish, aiming for a familiar literary aesthetic that scales from body copy to prominent editorial titling.
In text, the type creates a dark, even texture with clear word shapes, helped by firm verticals and well-defined serifs. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright. The design reads as traditional rather than trendy, with details that favor print-like refinement over minimalist neutrality.
