A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a compact, sturdy build with rounded internal curves, crisp joins, and a steady baseline rhythm that reads clearly at text sizes. Capitals are broad and weighty with strongly defined terminals, while the lowercase keeps a classic, book-oriented structure with a two-storey a and g, a compact e, and restrained apertures. Numerals are similarly weighty and traditional in feel, with clear differentiation and firm vertical stress.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and publication design where a firm, classic voice is needed. The strong weight and contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and posters that benefit from a traditional serif presence. It can support institutional materials—programs, reports, and formal invitations—where clarity and authority are priorities.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial and literary character. Its heavy color and crisp contrast suggest seriousness and credibility, evoking book typography, newspapers, and institutional communications rather than playful or casual use.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-impact text serif that balances traditional structure with a heavier, more attention-grabbing weight. It aims to deliver a confident reading rhythm in paragraphs while scaling up cleanly for display typography.
Spacing appears even and stable, producing a dark, consistent text color in paragraphs. The stronger horizontals and bracketed serifs give the face a grounded, slightly oldstyle flavor, while the contrast and terminals keep it sharp and formal in display settings.
