A compact, dark text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sturdy, bracketed wedge serifs. The shapes show a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle influence: rounded bowls and asymmetrical joins are paired with crisp, angled terminals, and several lowercase letters (notably a, e, g) use more traditional, bookish constructions. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is dense, giving lines a strong typographic color. Figures follow the same contrasty logic, with curved forms and tapered strokes that keep the numerals lively rather than strictly mechanical.
It performs best where a strong, traditional serif voice is needed—headlines, chapter openers, book covers, and editorial display. The dense color and lively contrast also make it suitable for posters and branding applications that want a classic, print-forward character.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a confident, authoritative presence suited to traditional publishing aesthetics. Its bold, ink-rich color reads as serious and established, evoking historic printing and editorial typography rather than contemporary minimalism.
The font appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif impression with added drama from strong contrast and assertive serifs. Its design choices suggest a focus on impactful reading texture and a historically rooted tone for display and editorial settings.
The design balances sharp details with soft, rounded bowls, creating a distinctive texture at text sizes. Terminals and serifs often flare or taper, contributing to a slightly hand-influenced finish while maintaining a disciplined, upright posture.
