A sturdy serif with pronounced stroke contrast and clearly bracketed serifs, combining crisp terminals with subtly softened joins. The uppercase forms are broad and steady with open counters (notably in C, G, O) and a strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and compact, disciplined proportions. Serifs often finish with a slight flare and occasional ball-like terminals, giving the shapes a carved, print-oriented feel. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varied heights and gentle diagonals, reinforcing a classical text rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial design, book interiors, and academic or institutional materials where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and dark texture also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand marks that benefit from a formal, established presence.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly literary, institutional character. Its confident weight and high-contrast detailing feel formal and established, evoking editorial and book typography rather than playful or experimental settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-rooted serif with a confident, dark typographic color and traditional detailing. Its proportions and serif treatment prioritize clarity and authority while preserving a distinctly literary texture in continuous text.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright. Spacing in the sample text reads stable and even, with a darker color that favors display sizes or strong text emphasis while still retaining conventional text-serif manners.
