A sturdy serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a noticeably weighty, ink-rich texture. Strokes are broadly modeled with gentle contrast and rounded joins that keep counters open despite the heavy color. Proportions feel compact with relatively short extenders and a moderate x-height, while caps are broad and stable. Curves are full and slightly squarish in places, and the overall rhythm reads even and confident at text sizes.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a darker page color is desirable, and it also performs strongly for headlines and display lines that need a traditional serif voice. The weight and bracketing make it a good choice for packaging, certificates, and heritage-leaning branding where sturdiness and authority are priorities.
The tone is classic and book-centered, with a traditional, institutional confidence. Its heavy presence lends a serious, editorial voice that can also feel warm due to the softened bracketing and rounded transitions.
Likely designed to provide a conventional serif reading experience with extra heft and sturdy construction, emphasizing dependable legibility and a classic typographic tone. The softened bracketing and moderate contrast suggest an aim for warmth and durability rather than sharp, high-fashion refinement.
The numerals are similarly robust and prominent, matching the strong text color; round forms (like 0/8/9) appear full and dark, while straight-sided figures (like 1/4/7) remain substantial. Overall spacing and letterfit look geared toward solid readability rather than airy elegance.
