A sturdy text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms have full, rounded bowls and a slightly compressed, vertical rhythm, with crisp joins and a solid, even color at larger sizes. Terminals often finish in small teardrop/ball-like shapes (notably on curves and in letters like C, J, and S), adding a subtly calligraphic finish to an otherwise conventional structure. Numerals are weighty and compact, with clear counters and traditional proportions that align well with the cap and lowercase texture.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its strong contrast and robust serifs can carry personality and impact. It also fits editorial contexts such as book covers, magazine titling, and traditional branding applications that benefit from a classic serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, suggesting printed literature, institutional signage, and editorial gravitas. Its high contrast and pronounced serifs give it a formal, slightly old-world character, while the rounded details keep it from feeling overly sharp or austere.
Likely designed to deliver a familiar, traditional serif texture with added emphasis through strong contrast and substantial weight, balancing readability with a confident, heritage-leaning presence.
In the text sample, the dense strokes and strong serifs create a dark, confident typographic color that suits short-to-medium passages and display-sized setting. The spacing appears steady and conventional, with sturdy capitals and a lowercase that reads as traditional and workmanlike rather than delicate.
