A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed, slightly flared serifs. The design shows generous, rounded bowls and crisp joins, with a steady vertical stance and a compact, weighty texture in running text. Terminals frequently resolve into beaks or soft teardrops, and several lowercase forms (notably a, g, y) show ball/teardrop finishing that adds a calligraphic accent. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and prominent contrast, matching the text rhythm rather than lining up uniformly.
This font is well suited to headlines and display typography where its contrast and distinctive terminals can be appreciated, as well as editorial uses like magazine features and book titling that benefit from a classic, authoritative serif voice. It can also serve as a strong companion for pull quotes and section openers where a dark, emphatic typographic color is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and polish while retaining a touch of warmth from the rounded forms and teardrop terminals. Its strong contrast and sturdy stems create a dramatic, confident voice suited to high-impact typography.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, publication-oriented serif with elevated contrast and refined serif shaping, balancing classic proportions with expressive terminal details for a more characterful editorial presence.
The italic is not shown; the displayed roman emphasizes a dark, sculpted color with conspicuous wedge-like serifs and lively terminal shapes. In larger settings the detailing in terminals and serifs becomes a key part of the personality, while at text sizes it reads as a dense, stately texture.
