A robust serif with strongly bracketed serifs, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and generous counters. The letterforms lean on traditional proportions with a wide stance and steady, upright posture; strokes terminate in crisp, slightly flared serifs that keep the rhythm even across lines. Lowercase shows compact, well-contained bowls with a round tittle on the i/j and a two-storey a, while the g is double-storey with a distinctive ear and a full, rounded lower bowl. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying heights) with rounded forms and clear differentiation, reinforcing a classical text feel.
This font suits editorial headlines and subheads where a strong serif voice is needed, and it can also work for short passages such as pull quotes, captions, and deck text when set with adequate leading. Its bold presence and traditional detailing make it a good choice for book covers, magazine titling, and branding that aims for heritage or institutional credibility.
The overall tone is confident and classical, with a strong editorial presence. It reads as formal and established rather than playful, evoking printed books, newspapers, and institutional communications.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, authoritative serif voice with strong contrast and durable shapes that hold up in prominent text. Its classical structure and oldstyle numerals suggest an emphasis on typographic tradition and editorial utility.
Spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, and the sturdy serifs help maintain clarity in dense settings. The ampersand is compact and traditional, and several letters show subtly rounded interior joins and soft curves that temper the weight.
