A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and softly bracketed, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show a slightly calligraphic tension, with rounded joins and a gently irregular, inked quality that keeps the heavy forms from feeling rigid. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is compact, while curves on letters like C, G, S, and the numerals are full and weighty. Lowercase features a single-storey g and a simple, sturdy a, with a tall, assertive overall color suited to display-to-text crossover at larger sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a dark, traditional serif voice is desirable. It can also work for editorial and book-cover typography, especially in short-to-medium passages at comfortable sizes where the compact counters and high contrast remain clear.
The tone is classic and authoritative, evoking traditional book typography with a slightly old-world, storybook warmth. Its dark presence feels confident and editorial, lending a formal, established voice without becoming austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with extra visual weight and contrast for strong typographic presence. Its calligraphic nuances and wedge terminals suggest a goal of combining traditional readability cues with a more expressive, print-like personality.
Serifs tend toward triangular/wedge shapes with noticeable bracketing, creating strong horizontal accents on E/F/L/T and crisp finishing on diagonals like V/W/X. The figures appear sturdy and readable, with rounded bowls and clear differentiation, matching the font’s dense, emphatic texture.
