A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that flare into broad, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show crisp, engraved-style contrast with slightly softened joins, giving the letterforms a sturdy, ink-on-paper feel rather than a geometric precision. The capitals are wide-set and stable, with strong vertical stress and confident arms and crossbars; the lowercase mixes compact counters with generous shoulders, and several glyphs show rounded, ball-like terminals (notably on forms such as a, f, and j). Numerals read as oldstyle figures, with varying heights and descenders that integrate naturally with the lowercase texture.
This font suits editorial headlines, book and magazine work, and cover typography where a classic serif voice and strong presence are desired. Its sturdy contrast and oldstyle numerals also make it a good fit for packaging, traditional branding, and display settings that benefit from a refined yet weighty texture.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, projecting authority and seriousness with a subtle warmth from its bracketed serifs and rounded terminals. It evokes established print typography—bookish and editorial—while remaining bold enough to feel declarative in headings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif voice with added emphasis: strong contrast and substantial serifs for impact, paired with traditional proportions and oldstyle numerals for typographic credibility in editorial and literary contexts.
In continuous text the face builds a dark, even color with clear word shapes, aided by strong serifs and distinct stroke endings. The italics are not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent roman rhythm with noticeable character differentiation in forms like Q, R, g, and y.
