A robust text serif with strongly bracketed serifs, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and a steady vertical axis. The letterforms show compact counters and substantial stems, giving the face a dark, weighty color in paragraphs. Terminals are clean and slightly cupped, with crisp joins and a disciplined, conventional skeleton; diagonals and curves are confidently drawn without looking mechanical. Figures appear lining with similarly strong contrast and sturdy footing, matching the overall dense, print-forward texture.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, particularly in print-like layouts with comfortable line spacing. Its dense color also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and mastheads that need firm presence without departing from a conventional text-serif aesthetic. It can also support institutional or heritage-leaning branding applications where credibility and tradition are priorities.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial gravitas that feels at home in established publishing. Its dark color and crisp serif detailing project seriousness and confidence, reading as classic rather than playful or experimental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented text serif with elevated contrast and sturdy construction, balancing classic proportions with a darker, more emphatic tone for strong typographic presence across editorial sizes.
In the text sample, the heavy color and tight interior spaces make it most comfortable with generous leading and careful tracking, especially at smaller sizes. The sharp contrast and compact counters give it a punchy presence in headlines while maintaining a conventional, bookish rhythm in continuous text.
