A robust text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that taper to sharp terminals. The letterforms show generous counters and steady, classical proportions, with a relatively large x-height supporting clarity at reading sizes. Stems are sturdy and confident, while curves transition cleanly into serifs, producing a crisp, printed texture. Numerals and capitals feel substantial and evenly weighted, giving paragraphs a dark, consistent typographic color.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine headlines, book jackets, and other applications where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for branding and display typography that needs a traditional, trustworthy tone, especially when set with ample spacing for crispness.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking book typography and editorial publishing. Its strong contrast and firm serifs lend a sense of seriousness and confidence, while the rounded counters keep it approachable rather than austere.
Designed to deliver a conventional, heritage-leaning serif appearance with strong presence and clear contrast, balancing classic proportions with a sturdy build for impactful text and display use.
In continuous text, the font creates a dense, headline-friendly rhythm with clear word shapes and distinct character silhouettes. The strong serifs and high contrast make it especially impactful in larger sizes, where the detailing in brackets and terminals becomes more apparent.
