A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast, crisp terminals, and strongly bracketed serifs that read as classical rather than slab-like. Uppercase proportions are broad and steady, with rounded bowls (B, D, O) and confident horizontals on E and F. The lowercase shows compact, well-contained counters and a slightly calligraphic stress, with clear two-storey forms where expected (a, g) and sturdy joins that keep the texture dark and even. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style-inspired rhythm, with firm verticals and sharply finished serifs.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and cover typography where a classic serif voice is desired with strong presence. It can also work for editorial and long-form print when used with generous leading and careful tracking to balance its dense color.
The tone is formal and authoritative, evoking book typography, institutional communications, and traditional print craft. Its weight and contrast give it a confident, declarative voice that feels editorial and slightly ceremonial, especially at larger sizes.
The design appears intended as a conventional, classical serif for publishing and formal communication, combining traditional proportions with a bolder, high-contrast drawing to perform strongly in display and editorial contexts.
In text settings the rhythm stays consistent and dense, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp punctuation that holds up at display sizes. The design favors clarity and presence over delicacy, producing a solid, ink-rich color on the page.
