A sturdy serif with bracketed terminals and a compact, text-driven build. Strokes are full and confident with moderate contrast, and the serifs read as traditional rather than slabby—short, solid feet with clear bracketing on verticals. Curves are generous and slightly flattened at joins, helping counters stay open despite the heavy color. The lowercase shows a double-storey “a” and a compact “e,” while capitals are wide and stable with strong horizontal elements; overall spacing and sidebearings create an even, dense rhythm in paragraphs.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and print-forward branding where a dark, traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively in headlines and posters that need strong presence and clear, classic letterforms.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a formal, authoritative presence. Its weight and traditional serif language evoke editorial and institutional contexts, reading confident and a bit stern rather than delicate or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, traditional reading experience with extra heft for emphasis and impact. It balances conventional serif construction with sturdy proportions to maintain clarity while producing a strong, unmistakably classic typographic color.
The numerals and capitals carry a pronounced, old-style heft that produces strong typographic color; at larger sizes it feels emblematic and headline-ready, while in text it will print dark and solid. Terminals often finish with subtle rounding or ball-like details, adding a hint of warmth to an otherwise conventional structure.
