A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show generous bowls and clear, open counters, with a relatively tall cap presence and a steady baseline. Terminals are crisp and slightly sculpted, giving strokes a carved, print-like finish; curves transition cleanly into stems, and the overall texture reads dark and even at text sizes while remaining emphatic in display settings.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, especially for headings, subheads, and pull quotes where a darker, more emphatic serif voice is helpful. It can also support formal branding, packaging, and institutional materials that benefit from a classic, print-oriented texture.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial, print-forward character. Its firm contrast and classic serif construction suggest formality and credibility, making it feel suited to established institutions and long-standing publishing conventions.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif voice with extra presence—combining traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with strong contrast for clarity and authority across editorial and display use.
The uppercase carries strong, compact silhouettes with confident serifs, while the lowercase maintains readable, conventional shapes and a consistent rhythm. Numerals appear robust and well-balanced alongside the letters, matching the font’s overall weight and contrast without becoming overly decorative.
