A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The design favors broad, open counters and sturdy verticals, with sharp hairline connections and tapered terminals that give strokes a carved, slightly wedge-like finish. Capitals are wide and emphatic, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with a relatively moderate x-height and clearly differentiated forms; the double-storey a and g read as traditional book faces. Numerals show noticeable stylistic variation, with oldstyle-like proportions and strong contrast that keep them lively but still coherent in text.
Well suited to editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired—magazine features, book jackets, cultural posters, and section heads. It can also serve in pull quotes and short passages where a strong, high-contrast texture is a feature rather than a drawback.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, combining authority with a slightly theatrical punch. Its strong contrast and confident serifs suggest heritage printing and headline gravitas rather than minimal modern neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a familiar, bookish serif structure with amplified contrast and width for impact. It aims to balance traditional readability cues with a more commanding presence for display-led typography.
In continuous text, the heavy main strokes create a dark, assertive color, while the fine hairlines add sparkle at larger sizes. The wide set and generous counters help maintain clarity in display and short text blocks, though the contrast makes it feel most at home when it can breathe.
