A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The capitals are sturdy and fairly open, with smooth curves and controlled joins; the lowercase shows oldstyle influence, including a two-storey “a” and “g” and a relatively compact, bookish rhythm. Terminals tend to finish in small wedges or softly tapered strokes, and the overall color on the page is dark and decisive while preserving clear internal counters. Numerals are sturdy and traditional in feel, matching the text face’s contrast and serif structure.
Well suited to headlines and display editorial typography where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It can also support book and magazine settings, especially for titles, pull quotes, and section openers, and it lends a traditional, authoritative voice to branding and identity applications that call for a classic serif.
The tone is classic and editorial, evoking traditional book typography with a confident, authoritative presence. Its sharp contrast and pronounced serifs add a sense of formality and drama, making it feel at home in literary and institutional contexts rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif voice with elevated contrast and refined detailing, balancing traditional forms with a more emphatic, attention-holding weight. It aims to provide a familiar literary texture while giving enough sharpness and drama for prominent editorial use.
In the text sample, the face holds together well at large sizes, where the contrast and serif detailing become a defining feature. The shapes read as conventionally proportioned with a steady baseline and consistent serif treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, heritage-leaning texture.
