A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed wedge serifs. The capitals are wide-set and stately, with crisp joins and a slightly engraved feel. Lowercase forms are compact and rhythmical, featuring rounded bowls, a two-storey a, and ball-like terminals on characters such as f and y; counters stay open despite the weight. Numerals are robust and old-style in spirit, with noticeable curvature and strong baseline presence.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, and other display-forward settings where the contrast and serif detailing can be appreciated. It also suits editorial layouts, book and magazine titling, and brand marks that want a classic serif voice with strong presence.
The font projects a classic, bookish authority—confident and traditional rather than decorative. Its high-contrast, sculpted serifs give it a dignified tone that reads as established and editorial, suitable for serious or institutional messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional, authoritative serif for display and editorial typography, emphasizing clarity of form and traditional proportions while adding a touch of flourish through ball terminals and tapered serifs.
Spacing appears generous in display sizes, and the strong serifs create clear word shapes and a pronounced horizontal emphasis. Diagonals (V, W, X) are crisp and sharp, while curves (O, Q, S) are smooth and controlled, creating a balanced mix of firmness and softness.
