A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed serifs. The design shows generous proportions and steady, upright construction, with crisp terminals and occasional beak-like finishes on letters such as C and G. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and curves are smoothly drawn with clear joins; overall rhythm is confident and even. Numerals appear to be oldstyle figures, with noticeable ascenders/descenders and a traditional, text-like flow rather than uniform lining heights.
Well suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where a traditional serif voice and strong texture are desired. It also fits book-cover typography, magazine layouts, and brand marks that aim for classic credibility, especially when paired with ample spacing and clean supporting sans text.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, leaning toward bookish, institutional, and editorial settings. Its weight and contrast give it a confident presence, while the classic serif detailing reads as refined and historically grounded.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif that prioritizes a classic reading texture while remaining bold enough to carry titles and prominent editorial typographic roles.
The lowercase shows a relatively compact feel at the shoulders and joins, while capitals maintain broad, steady widths and strong top/bottom serifs. The ampersand follows a conventional serif style, and punctuation and dots are solid and prominent, supporting legibility at display-to-text sizes.
