A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed wedge serifs. The forms are upright and generously proportioned, with broad capitals, round, open bowls, and crisp internal counters that stay clear in heavy text. Details show traditional text-serif cues—ball terminals in places, a two-storey “g,” and oldstyle numerals—while the overall rhythm remains even and stable across lines.
Well suited to headlines and display settings where a traditional serif voice is desired, such as editorial layouts, book and magazine covers, and mastheads. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a darker, more forceful typographic color is appropriate.
The tone is classic and authoritative, evoking book typography and institutional printing. Its weight and contrast add gravity and emphasis, lending a confident, editorial presence that feels traditional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-minded serif with elevated contrast and substantial weight, aiming to deliver a familiar literary tone while staying legible and structured at larger text and display sizes.
In the sample paragraph, the heavy color creates a dense, assertive texture; spacing appears deliberately firm, so large sizes read especially cleanly. The numerals descend and vary in height, reinforcing a literary, text-oriented character.
