A robust serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and a gently modulated stroke, giving letters a carved, ink-on-paper solidity. Proportions are fairly traditional, with a moderate x-height, compact counters, and strong verticals that create a steady, text-forward rhythm. Curves are smooth and confident, terminals tend toward rounded or subtly tapered finishes, and the overall texture stays dark and even across lines while retaining classic serif articulation.
Works well for editorial layouts, books, and long-form reading where a traditional serif texture is desired. The sturdy weight and clear serif structure also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, academic or institutional materials, and classic branding where a sense of permanence is useful.
The tone is classic and institutional, projecting reliability and gravitas rather than playfulness. Its sturdy forms and traditional detailing suggest editorial seriousness—suited to contexts where credibility and heritage cues matter.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable serif for general typography, balancing readability with a strong, confident presence. Its details prioritize familiar forms and a stable rhythm, aiming for versatile use across text and display sizes.
In running text the face maintains a dense, cohesive color, with capitals that feel weighty and headline-capable without losing a book type sensibility. Numerals appear traditional and sturdy, matching the overall dark rhythm and serifed construction.
