A robust serif with strong vertical stress and clear stroke modulation, pairing thick main stems with finer hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving terminals a crisp, carved finish without becoming slab-like. Proportions are comfortably wide with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm; capitals feel weighty and authoritative while lowercase forms remain compact and readable. Numerals and punctuation share the same firm, high-contrast construction, producing a consistent, print-forward texture in text.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine display lines, and book cover titling where a traditional serif voice is desired. Its sturdy, high-contrast build can also work for posters, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that need a classic, authoritative feel.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, evoking familiar book and newspaper typography with a slightly emphatic, headline-ready presence. It reads as dependable and institutional rather than playful, with enough contrast and serif definition to feel polished and intentional.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif pushed toward stronger display impact: familiar roman proportions, pronounced contrast, and bracketed serifs that preserve readability while delivering a confident, old-style editorial character.
In the sample text, the dense weight and contrast create a dark, even color that holds together well at larger sizes, while the wide stance helps prevent counters from closing up. The italic is not shown; all presented forms read as upright roman.
