A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give strokes a sculpted, ink-on-paper feel. Curves are generously modeled with slightly pointed joins and occasional ball terminals, while verticals remain steady and upright. Proportions are traditional with moderate x-height, compact apertures, and a steady rhythm that reads dense and confident in text. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and prominent contrast, matching the classic text color of the letters.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine copy where a traditional serif texture is desirable. The sturdy weight and high contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand marks that need a formal, established tone.
The overall tone is established and bookish, with a distinctly editorial seriousness. Its strong contrast and weight project authority and tradition, making it feel suited to classic publishing and institutional contexts rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with heightened contrast and a confident color, aiming to balance classical proportions with strong, contemporary presence. Its bracketed serifs, sculpted curves, and oldstyle numerals suggest an emphasis on literary familiarity and authoritative readability in print-like settings.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and symmetrical with clear, conventional construction, while lowercase has a lively, slightly calligraphic modulation in joins and terminals. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a cohesive roman voice with a dark, even text color at display sizes.
