A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that add a subtly calligraphic finish. The forms are relatively compact with sturdy verticals, rounded bowls, and lively stroke endings that taper to fine points, creating a rhythmic, engraved-like texture in text. Numerals and capitals feel weighty and stately, while the lowercase maintains clear, conventional proportions for continuous reading.
Well-suited to editorial design such as magazine features, newspapers, book typography, and academic or institutional materials where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively in headlines, pull quotes, and posters that benefit from a robust, high-contrast serif with a classic finish.
This font projects a confident, editorial seriousness with a slightly traditional, bookish tone. The sharp contrast and sculpted serifs give it a formal, authoritative voice that feels suited to established institutions and classic publishing.
The design appears intended to balance strong presence with conventional text usability, leveraging high stroke contrast and shaped serifs to deliver authority without becoming ornamental. Its structure suggests a focus on producing a steady, classic texture in paragraphs while still offering enough sharpness and weight for emphatic display settings.
In the sample text, the dense strokes and fine hairlines create a strong black-on-white presence, and the sharp terminals and serifs give lines a slightly dramatic, old-style rhythm. The italic is not shown; all examples appear roman/upright.
