This typeface presents a robust serif structure with strong thick–thin modulation and clear, bracketed serifs that flare subtly at the ends. Proportions are broad and open, with ample interior space in letters like O, D, and e, and a steady, upright rhythm across lines. The lowercase shows traditional text-roman construction (two-story a, a compact two-story g with a small ear, and a sturdy, slightly bulbous e), while capitals are wide with crisp horizontals and firmly weighted stems. Terminals and joins feel gently rounded rather than razor-sharp, giving the high-contrast drawing a slightly softened, print-oriented texture.
Best suited to editorial settings where a strong serif voice is needed—magazine headlines, book covers, section openers, and display typography for posters or cultural branding. It can also support short-form text such as pull quotes or lead paragraphs when set with comfortable spacing and line height.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, formal presence that reads as bookish and authoritative. Its broad stance and pronounced contrast lend it a headline-like gravitas, while the softened details keep it from feeling brittle or overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional text-seriffed impression with elevated contrast and broad proportions, combining classic roman cues with a heavier, more assertive presence for contemporary editorial display.
Figures are old-style in feel with noticeable contrast and varying widths, and the overall color on the page is dark and emphatic. In the sample text, word shapes remain clear at larger sizes, but the weight and contrast make it feel most at home when used with breathing room rather than tightly set in long passages.
