This serif features sturdy, high-contrast letterforms with pronounced bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. Curves are full and rounded, with slightly tapered terminals and a generally generous, open interior space that keeps counters clear in text. Uppercase proportions feel classical and stable, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies (notably in the flowing, angled shapes of characters like a, e, and g), producing an even, readable rhythm. Numerals appear lining and weighty, matching the strong color of the text and maintaining clear differentiation across forms.
It works well for editorial typography, book and magazine text, and other long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong weight also lends itself to headlines, pull quotes, and titling, especially when a traditional, authoritative impression is needed for branding or institutional materials.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying seriousness and credibility with a hint of historical, print-era character. Its firm weight and sculpted serifs give it an authoritative presence suited to formal communication rather than casual or playful settings.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, print-rooted serif voice with strong presence and dependable readability, combining classical proportions with robust contrast for clear hierarchy in both text and display settings.
The design’s contrast is expressed through sharp joins and tapered hairlines against broad main strokes, creating a dark, confident typographic color. Details like the wedge-like serifs and subtly angled stress add texture and a classic, book-oriented feel, especially in longer passages.
