A robust serif with compact proportions and a steady, print-like rhythm. Strokes are solid and fairly even, with clear thick–thin modulation and firmly bracketed serifs that taper to crisp terminals. Counters are moderately open and the curves are smooth and controlled, giving round letters a substantial, weighty presence without feeling clumsy. The lowercase shows a conventional text structure with a two-storey a and g, short-to-moderate extenders, and straightforward punctuation-like dots and terminals that keep texture dense and consistent in paragraphs.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a firm serif voice is desired. Its heavy presence also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and cover typography that needs impact without departing from conventional text-serifs. It can support formal branding applications such as institutional identities, certificates, and traditional packaging.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking editorial and institutional typography. Its dark color and decisive serifs convey seriousness and trust, while the measured contrast keeps it grounded and readable. It feels familiar and conservative rather than decorative, suited to messaging that benefits from tradition and clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with a darker, more assertive typographic color. It prioritizes conventional structure, dependable spacing, and sturdy details so it can carry both text and display roles while retaining a familiar editorial character.
In the sample text, the face maintains a strong typographic color at larger sizes, with pronounced vertical stress and stable alignment along the baseline. Letterforms appear designed for continuous reading, emphasizing consistency over quirky detailing; capitals are broad and stately, and numerals match the same sturdy, old-style text sensibility.
