A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modeling and bracketed serifs that taper into sharp, slightly beaked terminals. Curves are full and open, with generous bowls and a confident, steady vertical axis. Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, while lowercase shows traditional oldstyle cues (notably a two-storey “g” and a double-storey “a”) and a moderately sized x-height that preserves clear ascenders and descenders. Numerals are weighty and expressive, with ample curves and strong contrast that holds together at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, editorial typography, and prominent text on book or magazine covers where its contrast and sharp terminals can read clearly. It can also serve for pull quotes and section heads, especially in print-oriented layouts that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and a somewhat formal, bookish confidence. Its sharp serifs and sculpted joins add a touch of drama and tradition, making the voice feel established rather than trendy.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with elevated contrast and refined detailing, optimized for impactful text settings while retaining familiar proportions for comfortable reading.
Spacing appears comfortable and even in the sample text, supporting long lines without looking cramped. The most distinctive visual signature comes from the pointed, beak-like terminals and the energetic contrast, which give the letterforms a crisp, engraved feel when set large.
