A sturdy text serif with prominent, bracketed wedge serifs and a compact, evenly weighted color on the page. Stems are solid and confident, with moderate modulation and sharp, clean terminals that give the outlines a crisp edge. Uppercase forms feel formal and slightly condensed in presence, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions with rounded bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a sturdy, readable “g.” Numerals appear oldstyle in character, with varying heights and several descending forms, supporting a bookish, text-first rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a strong serif voice is beneficial. It can work well on book and magazine covers, pull quotes, and branding applications that want a traditional, authoritative feel. In longer passages, it will be most effective with generous leading and comfortable sizes to keep the rich color from feeling heavy.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition without feeling overly decorative. Its strong serifs and dense texture suggest seriousness and reliability, suited to contexts where gravitas and clarity are desired.
The design appears intended as a conventional, robust serif for impactful reading and display, emphasizing tradition, solidity, and clear word shapes. Its strong serifs and oldstyle numeral feel point toward classic publishing conventions and a confident typographic voice.
The design maintains a consistent, firm baseline presence, and the sharp serifs help letterforms hold their shape at display sizes. In larger text settings, the heavy weight and tight internal counters create a rich, dark typographic color that favors short passages, headings, and emphasis.
