A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a predominantly vertical stress, robust stems, and relatively compact counters, producing a dark, even texture in paragraph settings. Curves often finish in soft ball terminals (notably on several lowercase forms), and the overall rhythm is tight with substantial weight in joins and shoulders. Numerals appear in oldstyle form with varying heights and clear differentiation between figures.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, especially in sizes that benefit from its firm strokes and compact counters. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and magazine layouts that need a traditional, authoritative presence without moving into slab or highly decorative territory.
The tone is traditional and serious, evoking book typography and established editorial voices. Its dense color and confident serifs lend an authoritative, slightly old-world character suited to formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, book-oriented serif with heightened contrast and a darker color for confident readability and a classic publishing feel. Ball terminals and bracketed serifs suggest a goal of combining traditional structure with a touch of warmth and personality.
The uppercase feels stately and compact, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic warmth through rounded terminals and lively descenders. Overall spacing and weight distribution favor impact and solidity over airy delicacy, helping text hold together at display and strong reading sizes.
