This serif features sturdy, bracketed serifs and a dense, dark color with broad proportions. Strokes show clear but moderate contrast, with rounded joins and softly sculpted terminals that keep counters open and readable at text sizes. The letterforms lean toward oldstyle construction: diagonally stressed curves, a flowing double‑storey “a,” and a two‑storey “g” with a pronounced ear, all contributing to an even, bookish rhythm. Numerals are weighty and legible with consistent width and rounded shapes that match the text face.
It performs well in editorial layouts where a strong serif texture is desirable—book pages, long-form articles, and magazine typography—while also scaling effectively to headlines and pull quotes. The bold, traditional voice can support branding for institutions, publishers, or heritage-oriented products that want a credible, classic typographic foundation.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a classic print voice that feels familiar and dependable. Its heavy presence reads confident and slightly formal, making it well suited to content that benefits from gravitas and editorial seriousness.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with extra heft for strong typographic color, combining oldstyle-influenced shapes with robust serifs to maintain readability and presence across both text and display settings.
The design’s generous curves and strong serifs create a cohesive, robust texture in paragraphs, while the wide capitals and sturdy diagonals help maintain clarity in headlines. Rounded terminals and subtle ball-like details in places add warmth, preventing the weight from feeling overly mechanical.
