A sturdy serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a compact, slightly condensed interior rhythm with firm vertical stems, tapered diagonals, and occasional wedge-like terminals. Capitals feel stately and even, while the lowercase has a comparatively small x-height, giving the design a traditional text-face proportion; counters are tight and curves are carefully controlled. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and a calligraphic flow that matches the serif detailing.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for book covers and brand wordmarks that benefit from a traditional, authoritative presence, and for short passages where the textured, high-contrast rhythm adds character.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and a sense of established print culture. Its sharp serifs and confident weight read as formal and declarative, with a subtly historical, bookish character.
The font appears intended as a conventional serif with a strong, print-oriented presence, combining classic proportions with emphatic weight and contrast to remain assertive in display settings while retaining a literary text-face feel.
The design relies on strong black shapes and deliberate contrast, which makes it especially striking at display-to-subhead sizes. Distinctive features include the Q’s sweeping tail, the robust lowercase with pronounced terminals, and numerals with lively ascenders/descenders that add texture in running text.
