A sturdy serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and softly rounded joins that keep the heavy strokes from feeling harsh. The capitals are broad and stable, with classical proportions and moderate curvature, while the lowercase is compact with a relatively small x-height and generous ascenders/descenders that give lines a traditional text rhythm. Strokes remain largely even, with only subtle modulation, producing a dark, confident color on the page. Numerals appear oldstyle in construction, with varying heights and some descending forms, reinforcing an editorial, book-oriented texture.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form settings where a classic serif voice is desired, especially when a darker page color is acceptable. It also works effectively for headlines, signage-style titles, and formal brand applications that benefit from a traditional, established feel.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking printed literature, established institutions, and conventional publishing. Its dense color and compact lowercase feel serious and dependable rather than airy or minimalist.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with a robust, print-like presence—prioritizing solidity and familiarity over delicacy or high contrast. The oldstyle-style numerals and compact lowercase suggest an aim toward traditional editorial and book composition.
The serif shapes lean toward triangular, slightly flared terminals, which helps maintain clarity at display sizes while preserving a classic text-serif identity. Spacing appears moderately tight, contributing to a cohesive, weighty paragraph color in the sample text.
