A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle flavor: rounded joins, tapered stroke endings, and subtle teardrop/ball-like terminals appear in several lowercase forms. Proportions are generous and open, with sturdy verticals and compact internal counters that keep the texture dark but readable. Uppercase shapes are crisp and classical, while lowercase includes distinctive details such as a single-storey “g” and a swashy, descending “Q” tail that adds movement.
This face is well suited to headlines and subheads where its strong contrast and substantial serifs can carry personality at larger sizes. It also works for editorial layouts, book covers, and brand identities that want a classic, credible tone, and can serve as a supporting text serif when paired with a lighter companion for longer reading.
The overall tone feels established and bookish, projecting authority and tradition with a hint of warmth from its calligraphic terminals. It reads as confident and editorial rather than minimalist, making it suitable where a classic voice and strong typographic presence are desired.
The design appears intended as a conventional, display-capable text serif that balances classic book typography cues with slightly expressive terminals for added character. It aims to provide a familiar, authoritative texture while remaining distinctive in titles and pull quotes.
The font’s rhythm is steady and text-like, with clear differentiation between characters and a consistent serif treatment across cases. Numerals match the weight and contrast of the letters and feel designed to sit comfortably in text or headings without looking overly ornamental.
