A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a sturdy vertical stress, crisp triangular and wedge-like finishing strokes, and rounded ball/teardrop terminals in several lowercase forms. Proportions are slightly condensed in places with a compact rhythm, while counters remain open enough for text. The lowercase features a traditional two-storey a and g, a high-shouldered r, and a t with a sharp, tapered top; numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and a lively, calligraphic swing.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a dense, confident typographic color is desired, such as magazines, newspapers, and book typography. The strong contrast and decisive serifs also make it effective for headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and other display moments that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is formal and authoritative, with a distinctly classical bookish feel. Strong contrast and crisp terminals add a slightly dramatic, headline-ready presence while still reading as rooted in conventional text typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for serious reading and editorial communication, balancing traditional structures with a darker, more emphatic presence for strong typographic impact.
In the sample text, the weight and contrast create a dark color on the page, giving paragraphs a firm texture and strong emphasis in caps. The design’s tapered joins and pronounced terminals lend a slightly engraved or transitional flavor without becoming ornamental.
