This serif presents sturdy, bookish letterforms with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Curves are generous and slightly sculpted, with clear ink-trap-free joins and a steady vertical axis that keeps the texture even in paragraphs. The capitals are broad and formal, while the lowercase shows traditional details such as a two-storey “g,” a compact “e,” and a “y” with a distinct descending tail. Figures appear lining with strong contrast and rounded bowls, matching the text weight and maintaining a consistent color at display sizes.
It is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where a confident, traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve in posters and packaging that need a classic, established feel, especially when set at medium to large sizes where the contrast and serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying authority and tradition without feeling overly ornate. Its strong contrast and confident serifs give it a dignified, headline-ready presence, while the underlying proportions keep it grounded in conventional reading rhythm.
The design intent appears to be a conventional text serif pushed toward display impact: robust forms, strong contrast, and refined serifs that preserve a familiar reading structure while adding presence for titles and emphasis.
The face reads darkest in round letters and at joints, producing a lively yet controlled texture. Spacing in the samples appears comfortable rather than tight, helping counters stay open even as stroke contrast increases in larger settings.
