A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed serifs. The letterforms lean toward an oldstyle construction: rounded bowls, subtly tapered joins, and a flowing stroke rhythm that feels drawn rather than purely geometric. Capitals are broad and steady with ample interior counters, while the lowercase shows lively terminals and distinct, slightly asymmetric details (notably in the a, g, y, and j). Numerals are weighty and clear, matching the text color and maintaining consistent vertical stress across the set.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where a strong, classic serif presence is needed. It also fits editorial settings such as magazine titles, pull quotes, and book covers, and can support heritage-leaning branding when used at moderate to large sizes.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking book typography and traditional print. Its dense, confident color reads as serious and established, with just enough calligraphic warmth to avoid feeling mechanical. The style suggests a historical, literary sensibility suited to formal communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, traditional serif voice with strong contrast and a sturdy footprint, balancing readability with a distinctly classical character. It aims to provide an authoritative display text color while retaining calligraphic nuance in the lowercase for personality.
Spacing and proportions create a strong horizontal rhythm, with wide capitals and generous counters helping prevent the heavy weight from clogging at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a single, consistent roman voice with expressive, slightly soft-edged serif transitions.
