This serif shows strong thick–thin contrast with crisp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that read sharp but not slab-like. Capitals are sturdy and slightly broad, with clear, classical proportions and a firm vertical stress visible in round letters. Lowercase forms are compact and solid, with rounded bowls, open counters, and a two-storey “g” paired with a single-storey “a,” creating a traditional book-face texture. Overall spacing and rhythm feel steady and text-oriented, with a pronounced, confident color at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where a strong serif voice is desirable. It can also support branding and institutional materials that benefit from a classic, authoritative look, and it remains readable for short-to-medium text blocks when ample size and spacing are available.
The tone is traditional and editorial, projecting seriousness and authority. Its high-contrast cut and crisp serifs add a refined, slightly dramatic edge that suits institutional and literary contexts without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-centric serif with a bolder, higher-contrast presence that holds up in prominent settings. Its classical construction and crisp detailing suggest a focus on clarity and tradition while maintaining enough punch for display use.
The figures are robust and highly legible, with clear differentiation and strong vertical emphasis. In running text the weight produces a dense, emphatic texture, making it especially impactful for headings and short passages rather than delicate, airy composition.
