A sturdy text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are heavy and vertical, with relatively tight apertures and compact interior counters that keep the forms dark and cohesive. Curves are smooth and slightly squared-off at joins, and terminals tend toward firm, flattened endings rather than delicate hairlines. Overall spacing reads measured and conventional, producing an even, column-friendly rhythm in continuous text.
Well-suited to newspaper and magazine headlines, editorial decks, and other situations where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also serve for book typography and formal branding applications where a dense, traditional text color and clear, conventional letterforms are preferred.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial, bookish confidence. Its dark color and decisive serifs convey formality and reliability, lending a traditional voice that feels established rather than trendy.
This design appears intended as a conventional, dependable serif for reading and editorial display, emphasizing a strong page color and recognizable, traditional proportions. The combination of firm bracketed serifs and pronounced contrast aims to deliver authority and clarity in prominent text while remaining consistent and familiar in longer settings.
Uppercase forms show a strong, stable baseline presence and broad proportions, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike texture. Numerals and punctuation match the same sturdy modulation, reinforcing a consistent, print-oriented appearance.
