A sturdy serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a compact, weighty color on the page. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation and slightly calligraphic shaping, with rounded joins and softened terminals that keep counters open despite the heavy weight. Proportions lean wide and stable in the capitals, while the lowercase has full bowls and a lively rhythm; the two-storey a and g, and the strong, angled tail on Q, reinforce a traditional text-serif build. Numerals are lining and robust, with clear differentiation and solid vertical emphasis.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a firm, traditional voice is desired. The heavy color and crisp serif structure also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers that need confident emphasis without departing from conventional typographic norms.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and trustworthy. Its strong presence and traditional detailing suggest institutional and literary contexts rather than minimal or contemporary branding.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif with enough weight and presence to bridge body copy and display roles. Its softened, bracketed detailing and moderated contrast aim for readability and a familiar, time-tested tone.
In continuous text it produces a dark, even texture with clear word shapes, helped by generous interior counters and decisive serif articulation. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman, with consistent vertical stress and stable spacing.
