A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The capitals are wide and steady with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase shows compact, rounded bowls and firm terminals that keep counters open at text sizes. Curves are smooth and controlled, joins are clean, and the overall rhythm is even, producing a dense but readable texture. Numerals follow the same sturdy, high-contrast construction and align well with the alphabet’s weight and presence.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, newspapers, and book design where a strong serif voice is desired. It performs especially well for headings, deck copy, pull quotes, and prominent subheads, while remaining serviceable for shorter passages of text where a darker, more emphatic color is acceptable.
The tone is classic and authoritative, leaning toward traditional print typography. Its confident weight and sharp serifs convey seriousness and credibility, with an editorial, old-style warmth rather than a purely modern or geometric feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-forward serif with elevated contrast and strong presence, combining traditional proportions with a bolder, more commanding texture for contemporary editorial use.
Stroke endings are generally tapered into wedge-like serifs, giving a chiseled, engraved impression without becoming decorative. Spacing appears balanced in running text, and the letterforms maintain consistent color across mixed-case settings.
