A robust, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and firmly bracketed serifs. The curves are full and slightly vertical in stress, with confident joins and compact counters that keep the color dense on the page. Terminals often finish in rounded or teardrop shapes (notably in forms like a, j, and y), adding a subtle calligraphic softness to an otherwise sturdy, conventional skeleton. Uppercase proportions feel stately and evenly weighted, while the lowercase is compact with strong stems and clear serif articulation.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book covers, and formal branding where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and dense color give it presence at larger sizes, while the conventional structure supports extended reading in titles, pull quotes, and other prominent text settings.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, leaning toward an old-world, literary voice. It reads as serious and established, with a hint of warmth from the rounded terminals and bracketed detailing. The dense typographic color and crisp contrast convey a confident, editorial presence.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with extra weight for emphasis—aiming to deliver a classic, trustworthy impression while remaining visually lively through crisp modulation and rounded terminal details.
In the sample text, the weight and contrast create a strong headline texture, with noticeable dark spots where rounded bowls and tight counters concentrate ink. Numerals appear sturdy and traditional, with clear differentiation and consistent serif treatment that matches the letters.
