A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and generously bracketed serifs. Strokes feel subtly calligraphic, with rounded joins and occasional teardrop-like terminals that soften the otherwise weighty forms. Counters are moderately open and the overall rhythm is steady, while small details—like curved finials and slightly sculpted arms—add warmth and texture in text.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines and institutional branding that benefit from a dark, confident typographic color.
The tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority and tradition without feeling cold. Its dark color on the page and lively stroke modulation give it an editorial, literary presence suited to confident, established messaging.
The design appears aimed at a conventional text serif with a slightly oldstyle, calligraphy-influenced finish—balancing readability and a strong page presence with gentle, humanist detailing.
The uppercase reads formal and stable, while the lowercase introduces more personality through curved terminals and asymmetrical details. Numerals are robust and legible, matching the strong text color and maintaining a consistent, print-oriented presence.
