A sturdy serif with compact proportions and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast and a slightly softened, inked-in feel, with rounded joins and terminals that avoid sharpness. Counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is dense and steady, giving lines of text a dark, continuous color. The numerals and capitals carry a classic, slightly condensed presence with controlled curves and confident vertical stems.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. Its dark texture also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, posters, and packaging or branding that wants a traditional, trustworthy feel.
The tone is traditional and bookish, leaning toward editorial seriousness while still feeling approachable due to its rounded, slightly softened details. It evokes printed literature and institutional communication rather than sleek modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-forward serif voice with strong presence and dependable readability, balancing classic proportions with subtly softened detailing for a warmer, less rigid texture.
Details like the curved tail on the Q and the compact, weighty forms throughout reinforce a vintage text-serifs impression. At larger sizes the softened corners and bracketed serifs become more apparent, while at smaller sizes the dense color reads as firm and authoritative.
