A robust serif with broad, confident strokes and clearly bracketed serifs. Curves are full and rounded, with moderate contrast and a slightly softened, print-like finish rather than razor-sharp detailing. The lowercase shows an oldstyle flavor with a two-storey “a,” a two-storey “g,” and noticeably rounded terminals in letters like “c,” “e,” and “f,” while the capitals are compact and weighty with strong vertical emphasis. Figures are bold and steady, with rounded bowls (notably 3, 6, 8, 9) and a footed 1 that reads well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, editorial titles, and cover typography where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy tone, and it holds up well in short text blocks where dark typographic color is an asset.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking traditional book typography and established editorial voices. Its heavy presence and rounded shapes give it a sturdy, dependable feel, with a faintly vintage, press-ink warmth rather than a sleek contemporary polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, dependable serif with strong weight and familiar proportions, optimized for impactful reading in titles and prominent copy while retaining conventional, bookish letterform cues.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight interior counters create strong impact and a confident rhythm, especially in headlines and short passages. The “Q” shows a prominent, sweeping tail, adding a distinctive flourish within an otherwise conventional, workmanlike set of forms.
