A robust serif with bracketed wedges and a sturdy, compact construction. Strokes are strongly weighted with moderate modulation, producing a confident texture and a dark typographic color in text. Serifs are clearly articulated and slightly flared, and many joins show soft bracketing rather than sharp mechanical slabs. Lowercase forms lean oldstyle in feel, with rounded bowls, a two-storey “g,” and small, crisp terminals that keep counters open despite the heavy weight.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as headlines, magazine layouts, book covers, and poster typography where its dark color and pronounced serifs can carry the hierarchy. It can also support branding and institutional communications that benefit from a classic, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone reads traditional and bookish, with an assertive, institutional voice. Its dark color and classic serif detailing suggest credibility and formality, while the slightly warm, rounded shaping keeps it from feeling overly rigid.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-friendly serif with strong presence and clear structure, aiming for a familiar literary tone while remaining legible and cohesive in dense word shapes.
In the sample paragraph, the font holds together well at large sizes, where the strong serifs and bracketing become a defining visual motif. Capitals are broad and steady, and the numerals match the same sturdy, print-oriented rhythm, contributing to a consistent, editorial look.
