A robust serif with strong, bracketed serifs and a clear thick-to-thin modulation. Strokes are broadly vertical with rounded joins, generous counters, and a slightly compact feel in the lowercase. The design shows a mix of crisp wedge-like terminals and occasional ball/teardrop terminals, giving it a subtly decorative finish without becoming ornamental. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varied heights and pronounced curves that match the letterforms’ weight and rhythm.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where a confident serif voice is desired—such as magazines, book covers, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks that aim for a classic, established feel. It can work in body text at larger sizes, especially in print-oriented layouts that can accommodate its heavier color and pronounced serifs.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and seriousness. Its dark color on the page and classic serif construction suggest a bookish, institutional voice, while the small ornamental touches add a hint of personality and warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, traditional serif foundation with added character through terminal shaping and sturdy, display-friendly weight. It aims to balance readability with a distinctive, slightly decorative finish for editorial and identity use.
In text settings the weight produces a strong typographic presence and a tight, steady rhythm; it will read best with comfortable tracking and line spacing to avoid a dense texture. The italics are not shown, and the character set sample emphasizes a consistent, conventional roman style with distinctive terminals and sturdy proportions.
