A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and firmly bracketed serifs. The letterforms are broad and steady, with strong vertical stress, crisp terminals, and generous capitals that read prominently. Lowercase proportions feel conventional with a moderate x-height, while ascenders and descenders are kept controlled for a compact, well-paced texture. Numerals and punctuation carry the same weighty, structured rhythm, producing a dark, confident page color.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other display roles where its weight and contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for editorial branding, book or magazine covers, and pull quotes that need a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness suited to classic publishing aesthetics. Its bold presence and high-contrast detailing lend a stately, confident voice that feels formal rather than casual.
This design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened presence: broad proportions, strong contrast, and confident serifs that prioritize impact and tradition. It aims to look familiar and literary while remaining assertive in contemporary layouts.
In the sample text, the heavy strokes and contrast create a dense typographic color that emphasizes headlines and emphatic passages. The wide set and sturdy serifs support clear word shapes at display sizes, while the strong modulation gives the face a distinctly bookish, old-style sensibility without appearing delicate.
