A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, bracketed serifs, and slightly tapered stems that give the letterforms a traditional, bookish rhythm. The capitals are wide and steady with crisp terminals and confident joins, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies with compact bowls, a two-storey “g,” and a relatively sturdy, dark texture. Curves are smoothly modeled and counters are moderate, producing strong word shapes; figures read clearly with straightforward, lining-style proportions and firm vertical emphasis.
This face suits editorial headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a strong classic serif presence is desired. It also works well for book and magazine titling, institutional or heritage branding, and short blocks of text that benefit from a dark, traditional typographic color.
The overall tone is established and authoritative, leaning toward classic print typography. It feels formal and editorial rather than decorative, conveying reliability and tradition with a distinctly literary flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, time-tested serif voice with heightened contrast and a weighty presence, balancing classic proportions with a firm, modern crispness for impactful reading and titling.
Stroke contrast is most evident in round forms (C, O, Q) and in diagonals (V, W, X), where thick main strokes pair with finer connecting strokes. The design maintains a consistent, dark color in paragraphs, suggesting it’s tuned for emphasis and display-sized text while still keeping conventional, readable proportions.
