A robust serif with pronounced stroke modulation and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle influence: rounded bowls, tapered joins, and a rhythmic thick–thin pattern that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Counters are moderately open for the weight, with sturdy stems and confident terminals that create a dark, steady text color. Numerals and capitals feel stately and structured, while the lowercase keeps a readable, conventional texture.
It performs best where a confident serif voice is needed—editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and formal promotional materials. The strong contrast and dark color help it hold its own in large sizes, while the conventional construction keeps paragraphs legible when used with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a serious, bookish presence. It suggests tradition and authority without feeling overly ornate, making it suited to content that benefits from gravitas and clarity.
The design appears intended as a classic, general-purpose serif with an editorial bias: familiar proportions, clear serifs, and a controlled thick–thin rhythm that delivers a traditional reading texture with added emphasis for titles and pull quotes.
Capitals are broad and stable, with strong horizontals and clearly articulated serifs; diagonals (V/W/Y) retain crisp edges and strong contrast. The sample text shows an even rhythm at display sizes, with the weight producing a commanding, high-ink presence and clear word shapes.
