A sturdy serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a noticeably modulated stroke that reads as high-contrast without becoming hairline-delicate. Curves show a gentle, calligraphic swelling and a predominantly vertical stress, while stems stay firm and dark, giving the face a solid headline presence. Proportions are fairly classical, with moderate apertures and compact counters that keep the texture dense and even; capitals are broad and weighty, and the lowercase maintains clear, conventional shapes. The numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and descenders that add a bookish rhythm in text.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine typography, and other settings where a traditional serif voice is desired. The dense, dark texture can work effectively for short-to-medium text passages and pull quotes, and it has enough presence for branding or packaging that aims for heritage and authority.
The overall tone is classic and institutional, with a confident, slightly old-world gravitas. Its bold color and traditional detailing suggest seriousness and credibility rather than minimalism or casualness.
This design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with a strong, classic voice—balancing robust weight with traditional contrast and bracketed serifs to create a dependable, editorial workhorse.
Serif detailing is consistently bracketed and slightly flared, creating a soft transition into stems and bowls. The italic is not shown, and the displayed cut emphasizes a strong typographic color that holds up well at larger sizes.
