A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed serifs. The capitals feel broad and steady, with generous inner counters and a firm horizontal emphasis, while the lowercase shows oldstyle influences such as a two-storey “g” and a compact “e” with a firm crossbar. Curves are smooth and weighty, terminals are crisp, and the overall rhythm is even despite the strong contrast. Numerals appear proportional, with clear, traditional forms and substantial vertical stress.
This face is well suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium text in editorial layouts where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also work effectively on book covers, posters, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic, authoritative tone and a solid typographic “ink” presence.
The tone is confident and traditional, evoking bookish authority and established editorial voice. Its dark color and crisp detailing give it a serious, institutional feel suited to content that aims to sound trustworthy and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly legible serif with a pronounced, classic look—combining refined contrast and bracketed serifs with sturdy proportions for confident display and editorial use.
In text, the font produces a dense, assertive texture with clear word shapes and strong punctuation presence. The wedge-like serifs and high contrast add a sense of refinement, while the sturdy stems keep the overall impression grounded rather than delicate.
