A robust text serif with bracketed serifs, pronounced stroke endings, and a compact, well-knit rhythm. The letterforms show moderate contrast with strong verticals and confident, slightly flared terminals, producing a dark, print-like color in paragraphs. Capitals are broad and steady, while lowercase forms maintain clear counters and conventional proportions, with a double-storey “g” and a single-storey “a.” Numerals are weighty and readable, aligning visually with the heavy overall texture.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads, book and magazine typography where a strong typographic voice is desired, and print collateral that benefits from a classic serif presence. Its heavier texture also makes it effective for posters or packaging where sturdy readability is needed.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking classic book typography and institutional print. Its dense color and sturdy detailing feel serious and dependable, with an editorial gravitas suited to formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-impact serif for confident reading and strong typographic hierarchy, combining familiar text-serif structure with a heavier, more emphatic page color.
At display sizes the strong serifs and tight interior spaces read as purposeful and emphatic, while in text the darker color creates a confident, old-style page presence. The shapes favor clarity over delicacy, with consistent serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures.
