A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a largely vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into wedge-like terminals, with occasional ball terminals on forms like C/c and f, giving the outlines a slightly calligraphic, sculpted finish. Proportions are compact and weighty, with a strong, even color in text; counters stay fairly open despite the heft. Details such as the curved leg on R, the swept tail on Q, and the occasional swash-like strokes (notably on J and the lowercase y) add a decorative edge without breaking overall consistency.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine titles, and book-cover typography where strong contrast and confident serifs help anchor the page. It also fits branding and packaging that want a classic, premium voice, and works effectively for large pull quotes or short passages where its rich texture can be appreciated.
The tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and a sense of established craft. Its sharp contrast and stylized terminals lend a slightly dramatic, display-oriented character while still feeling rooted in classic print typography.
The design appears intended to blend classic, print-serifs with a touch of decorative flourish—delivering strong presence and a refined, traditional voice while remaining usable for readable setting at moderate sizes.
Uppercase forms feel stately and upright with clear serif signaling, while lowercase shapes retain readable, text-friendly construction. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and more text-like rhythm than lining figures, reinforcing a bookish, traditional mood.
