A robust serif with strongly bracketed serifs, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and a compact, even rhythm. Uppercase forms are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, with crisp joins and confident vertical stress. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, ball terminals on letters like c and f, and short, firmly set serifs that keep counters open while maintaining a dense color. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and a traditional, text-oriented silhouette.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and long-form reading where a traditional serif texture is desired. Its substantial weight and crisp serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, cover titles, packaging copy, and formal materials such as invitations or certificates.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking book typography, editorial tradition, and institutional credibility. Its weight and contrast give it a serious, declarative voice that feels suited to established brands and formal communication.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, text-serif voice with extra presence, combining traditional letterforms with a darker typographic color for impact in both display and reading contexts.
Diacritics are not shown. The design emphasizes strong verticals and stable proportions, producing a dark, consistent texture in continuous text; the heavier weight and compact spacing suggest it will appear especially commanding at headline sizes while remaining clearly serifed in paragraphs.
