A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The design shows a calligraphic, oldstyle influence: round letters have slightly softened joins, terminals feel sculpted rather than geometric, and the lowercase uses a two-storey a and a single-storey g with a rounded ear. Counters are relatively compact and the rhythm is dark and steady, giving paragraphs a dense, confident color. Capitals are wide and weighty with sharp interior definition, while numerals are sturdy and highly legible at display and text sizes.
Works well for editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired, including magazines, essays, and book typography. The weight and contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, and for branding that aims for a traditional, established character.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting authority and editorial seriousness. Its strong contrast and substantial weight add a sense of gravitas, making it feel suited to institutional and heritage-leaning settings rather than casual or playful ones.
Likely intended as a conventional, readable serif with an oldstyle flavor, balancing traditional forms with enough contrast and weight to perform strongly in modern editorial hierarchy. The design prioritizes authoritative texture and crisp serif articulation for confident presentation in both text and display contexts.
Serif details stay consistent across the set, with clear bracket transitions and crisp apexes in letters like A and V. The heavier strokes and compact counters can make long passages feel assertive, favoring generous leading and comfortable measure for text use.
