A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that soften into the stems. Curves are generously rounded and slightly squarish in places, giving counters a sturdy, almost oldstyle feel. The uppercase is broad and steady with strong horizontals, while the lowercase shows compact bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a lively “g” with a prominent ear. Overall spacing reads even and confident, with a dark, emphatic texture that holds together well in continuous text.
Best suited to headlines, editorial layouts, and book or long-form text where a strong serif voice is desired. Its dark color and broad proportions also work well for posters and branding that aims for a classic, trustworthy look, especially when set at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone with a confident editorial presence. Its weight and strong serifs add authority, while the rounded joins and subtle calligraphic cues keep it warm rather than austere. The overall impression is classic and dependable, suited to serious messaging with a touch of vintage character.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional reading experience with added impact—combining classical serif construction with a heavier, more declarative presence. It aims to remain familiar and highly legible while offering enough character in terminals and curves to stand out in display and editorial settings.
Several forms show distinctive oldstyle-like detailing—noticeably the ear and lower loop of “g,” the angled leg on “R,” and the wedge terminals on “C,” “S,” and “c.” Numerals are sturdy and legible, with clear differentiation and strong baseline presence, matching the font’s dense typographic color.
