A robust text serif with bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke contrast. The capitals are broad and steady, with flared terminals and a confident, sculpted presence; curves are smooth and the joins are clean, producing a polished rhythm. Lowercase forms show traditional proportions and clear counters, with a single-storey “g” and sturdy, slightly calligraphic shaping in bowls and shoulders. Figures are weighty and high-contrast, with strong vertical stress and crisp finishing at serifs and terminals.
Well suited to headlines, section titles, and pull quotes where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support editorial applications such as magazine and book cover typography, as well as branding that benefits from a classic, institutional feel.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than casual friendliness. Its strong contrast and formal detailing give it a traditional, bookish voice suited to established brands and serious communication.
The font appears intended to deliver a traditional text-serif structure with an elevated, high-contrast finish, balancing readability with a strong, formal personality for prominent typographic roles.
Spacing appears generous enough for large sizes, while the heavy strokes and fine hairlines suggest best results where reproduction is clean. The design reads as conventional and legible, with a slightly emphatic, display-ready presence when set in larger text.
