A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that flare smoothly from the stems. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous counters and a steady baseline, giving the face a sturdy, planted rhythm. Curves on bowls and terminals show subtle calligraphic shaping, while joins and serifs stay crisp enough to read as a conventional book serif rather than ornamental. Numerals follow the same strong contrast and classic proportions, with clear forms and solid weight distribution.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book settings where a strong serif voice is desirable. The weight and contrast give it impact for titles and pull quotes, while the conventional construction supports extended reading in print-like layouts.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a distinctly literary, print-forward character. It feels formal and dependable, projecting seriousness and authority without becoming rigid or overly delicate.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-impact text serif that balances traditional construction with a darker, more assertive page color. Its broad proportions and substantial strokes suggest a goal of strong presence in editorial and literary applications.
The sample text shows a dense, dark color on the page, with clear word shapes and strong vertical stress that suits prominent text sizes. Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while lowercase maintains familiar, oldstyle-informed contours that keep paragraphs from feeling mechanical.
