A robust text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that read crisp and well-anchored. The forms lean classical, with relatively large capitals, sturdy vertical stress, and compact interior counters that help the letters hold their shape at heavier color. Curves often finish with subtle ball terminals (notably in the lowercase), while the overall drawing stays disciplined and upright, with a measured rhythm and clear word shapes in paragraphs.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and title settings where its strong contrast and pronounced serifs can project authority. It also works well for editorial typography—magazine features, book jackets, and pull quotes—where a classic serif voice and solid typographic color are desirable.
The tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that feels established and trustworthy. Its strong contrast and emphatic serifs add a formal, institutional character suited to classic publishing contexts.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional, publication-ready serif voice with extra weight and contrast for impact, balancing classical details with contemporary clarity for prominent text use.
Numerals and capitals show a clear, structured presence, and the sample text demonstrates dense, even texture with strong emphasis at display sizes. The lowercase includes distinctive, slightly calligraphic touches in terminals that add personality without becoming ornate.
