A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast, crisp joins, and bracketed serifs that often end in slightly beaked, wedge-like terminals. The capitals are broad and steady with compact counters and strong vertical stress, giving a dark, even texture at display sizes. Lowercase forms show classic transitional proportions with a moderate x-height, a two-storey “g,” and a compact, slightly pinched “e,” while ascenders and descenders are kept relatively tidy for dense setting. Numerals follow the same sharp, serifed logic, with clear top/bottom anchoring and a traditional rhythm.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its bold presence and sharp serif detail can carry tone and hierarchy. It also fits editorial and book-cover typography, as well as brand marks that want a classic, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting seriousness and authority without feeling overly ornate. Its sharp serifs and sturdy color suggest a voice suited to established institutions, publishing, and formal communications.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-minded serif that emphasizes strong contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs for a confident, traditional look. It balances classic letterform structure with a darker, more forceful weight for display-oriented impact.
The sample text shows a strong page color with clear word shapes, especially in capitals and headline-style settings. Fine hairlines appear delicate against the heavy stems, reinforcing a classic, print-forward contrast model.
