A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The capitals are broad and steady with a strong vertical stress, while the lowercase shows compact proportions, rounded bowls, and moderately long ascenders/descenders. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean and slightly tapered, and joins remain sturdy, giving the design a solid rhythm at text and display sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same assertive contrast and serif treatment, with a distinctly styled ‘Q’ tail and clear, traditional figure shapes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as long-form articles, book interiors, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The sturdy contrast and decisive serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand or institutional materials that need a formal, established feel.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, conveying authority and seriousness without feeling ornamental. Its strong contrast and firm serifs create a confident, print-forward voice associated with books, newspapers, and institutional communication.
The font appears designed to deliver a familiar, traditional reading experience with elevated contrast and a confident typographic color. It prioritizes clarity and authority in continuous text while retaining enough presence for prominent titling.
The design reads as a conventional text serif with a slightly muscular presence, favoring crisp edges and stable verticals over calligraphic flair. Spacing appears even and measured in the sample setting, supporting dense paragraphs while still projecting a headline-worthy weight.
