A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and firmly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a relatively large x-height and compact inner counters, giving the texture a dense, ink-rich color in text. Terminals are rounded in places (notably in curves and some lowercase forms), while verticals stay steady and weighty, creating a confident rhythm. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights and extenders, matching the text-centric proportions.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads where a strong serif voice is desired, and it can carry longer passages in books or magazine layouts thanks to its tall x-height and steady rhythm. It also fits premium, traditional-facing applications such as packaging or branding that benefits from classic typographic authority.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, with a confident, authoritative presence. Its strong contrast and sturdy serifs evoke established print typography—serious, bookish, and suited to classic content where gravitas and clarity matter.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, text-serif reading experience with extra emphasis and presence. Its proportions and oldstyle numerals suggest an intention to feel at home in print-forward, editorial contexts while remaining visually assertive.
The design leans toward sturdy readability over delicacy: joins and brackets are substantial, and spacing feels tuned for continuous reading rather than airy display. The combination of high contrast with a large x-height produces clear word shapes while maintaining a distinctly classical serif voice.
