A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that widen smoothly into stems. The letterforms show a gently rounded, slightly “inked” feel at joins and terminals, with occasional ball-like terminals in the lowercase that add softness without turning decorative. Counters are compact and the overall color is dark and steady, with clear vertical stress and traditional proportions across caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same sturdy, high-contrast model, with curving figures and confident foot serifs that read well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text in editorial design, where its strong contrast and sturdy serifs create a confident typographic voice. It can also support book covers, magazine titles, and promotional layouts that benefit from a classic, high-impact serif with a warm, traditional cadence.
The tone is traditional and assured, leaning toward editorial and literary settings rather than minimal or technical styling. Its bold presence and classic detailing give it an authoritative, slightly old-style warmth suitable for emphatic headings and prominent pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with heightened presence—preserving familiar book-type cues while adding extra weight and contrast for stronger emphasis in display and editorial contexts.
The uppercase has a strong, carved-in silhouette with generous serifs and rounded transitions, while the lowercase combines sturdy stems with lively, curved details (notably in a, g, and y) that keep long passages from feeling rigid. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, producing an even, dark texture with clear word shapes.
