A sturdy serif with bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and a confident, weighty color on the page. Stroke contrast is moderate, with softened transitions that keep counters open and shapes stable at text sizes. The uppercase is broad and classical, while the lowercase shows compact proportions, a two-storey “g,” and frequent ball-like terminals (notably on “a,” “c,” “f,” and “y”). Numerals appear oldstyle in form, with varying heights and extenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and other long-form settings where a classic serif voice is desired. The firm weight and pronounced serifs also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, posters, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, authoritative look.
The overall tone is bookish and institutional, suggesting established tradition rather than modern minimalism. Its heavy, ink-friendly presence reads as serious and dependable, with slightly rounded details that add warmth without becoming casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with a stronger-than-average presence, combining familiar book-type forms with rounded terminals and oldstyle figures to create a cohesive, traditional text-and-display workhorse.
Spacing and rhythm feel even and dense, producing a strong typographic texture in paragraphs and headlines alike. The design favors sturdy silhouettes and well-contained apertures, which helps maintain clarity despite the dark overall color.
