This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp transitions and a sturdy, vertical stance. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with sculpted joins that give strokes a carved, metal-type feel. Curves are full and round (notably in C, O, and the numerals), while terminals frequently finish in small balls or teardrops, adding a slightly decorative edge. Counters are moderately tight in the bold weight, and spacing reads generous in capitals, producing an open, rhythmic texture in larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where strong contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes, cover lines, and packaging copy, especially when a classic, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, leaning toward editorial gravitas rather than minimal neutrality. Subtle ornamental touches in terminals and serifs add warmth and a slightly old-style, literary character without becoming overtly calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation enhanced with high-contrast drama and refined detailing for impactful display use. Its combination of robust weight, traditional proportions, and decorative terminals suggests a focus on confident readability with a premium, print-forward presence.
Capital forms feel particularly stately, while the lowercase includes a single-storey g and a lively, curled ear on some letters that softens the otherwise firm construction. Numerals are weighty and clear, with strong contrast that reads well at headline sizes.
