A sturdy serif with pronounced stroke contrast and bracketed wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, slightly calligraphic construction: rounded bowls with vertical stress, sharp beak and spur details, and frequent teardrop/ball terminals (notably on forms like a, f, j, and y). Proportions are moderately wide with generous counters, and the rhythm reads confident and steady. Numerals appear oldstyle, with noticeable ascenders/descenders and varied widths, reinforcing a text-centric, classical feel.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and classic headline settings where a strong typographic color and traditional serif detailing are desirable. It can also support formal branding and printed materials such as invitations or announcements that benefit from an established, literary voice.
The tone is traditional and institutional, projecting authority and refinement. Its sculpted terminals and strong contrast give it an editorial gravitas that feels at home in established, print-forward design.
This font appears designed to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif voice with extra weight and contrast for emphasis, pairing classical proportions with expressive terminal details to remain distinctive in display and strong in short-to-medium text settings.
The design leans on crisp joins and distinct serif shaping to keep forms separated at larger sizes, while the lively terminals add character beyond a purely neutral text face. The sample text shows a dense, dark typographic color that emphasizes presence and hierarchy in headings.
