A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and clearly bracketed wedge serifs. The capitals are strong and slightly condensed in feel, with broad vertical stems, compact inner counters, and a steady baseline rhythm. Lowercase forms show oldstyle influences—most notably the two-storey “g” and the angled, calligraphic terminals—paired with relatively compact apertures and sturdy joins. Numerals are weighty and bookish, with rounded bowls and clear, traditional proportions that match the text color of the letters.
This font works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and scholarly or institutional materials where a traditional serif voice is desired. Its strong stroke contrast and sturdy serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers that need a confident, print-forward presence.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking book typography and established print traditions. Its dark, confident color reads as serious and slightly formal, suited to messaging that benefits from credibility and gravitas.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly legible serif voice with a darker, more emphatic texture than typical text faces, balancing classic forms with punchy weight for modern editorial use.
The design favors a dense, high-ink text color with crisp serif definition, especially visible in the heavy horizontal strokes and emphatic curves. Spacing appears calibrated for continuous reading, keeping lines visually cohesive while maintaining clear letter differentiation at display sizes.
