A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic construction: rounded joins, tapered terminals, and occasional ball/teardrop endings that add softness to the otherwise strong, dark color. Proportions feel traditionally bookish with moderate x-height, generous counters, and steady vertical stress, producing a confident rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), blending naturally with lowercase texture.
Well suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and title treatments where a classic serif voice is desired. The dark color and high contrast make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and display-size settings, and the oldstyle numerals support text-forward layouts that mix figures with running copy.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its strong contrast and sturdy serifs convey seriousness and credibility, while the rounded terminals keep it from feeling overly rigid.
Designed to deliver a conventional, classic serif presence with strong contrast and a confident typographic color, aimed at reading and editorial contexts while still providing enough personality for display use.
In continuous text the face builds a dense, high-impact texture that favors larger sizes and strong typographic hierarchy. The italic is not shown; based on the roman forms, emphasis would likely rely on weight, size, or spacing rather than slant.
