A robust text serif with pronounced contrast between thick stems and fine hairlines, finished with clearly bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a slightly oldstyle lean in their modeling: round characters are gently stressy, and terminals often resolve into teardrop or beak-like shapes. Proportions feel sturdy and somewhat compact, with a strong color on the page and crisp internal counters that stay open in heavy strokes. The lowercase is traditional and readable, with a two-storey “g,” a compact “a,” and an “e” with a firm cross-stroke; numerals align with the same weighty, high-contrast rhythm.
This font suits book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, especially in headings, pull quotes, and subheads that benefit from stronger weight and contrast. It also works well for formal communications, academic or cultural materials, and premium packaging or labels that call for a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, evoking established publishing and institutional print. Its dark, sculpted forms feel serious and emphatic, lending a sense of gravitas and trustworthiness while remaining familiar and approachable for continuous reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers a classic reading experience with extra visual authority. Its bracketed serifs and sculpted terminals suggest a goal of balancing familiar book typography with a darker, more emphatic presence for editorial hierarchies.
Stroke endings are consistently sharp and well-defined, giving the face a slightly engraved, print-forward character at display sizes. The spacing appears even and measured, supporting a steady text rhythm while keeping capitals strong and prominent.
