A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply cut, bracketed serifs. The design shows a compact, well-inked color with firm verticals, crisp terminals, and slightly calligraphic shaping in curves and joins. Capitals are broad and commanding, while the lowercase maintains a traditional book-face rhythm with rounded bowls, clear counters, and a moderately sized x-height. Numerals include oldstyle forms with noticeable ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a text-oriented feel.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif voice is desired, especially in print. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and mastheads thanks to its weighty presence and high-contrast detailing. The oldstyle numerals make it a natural fit for literary layouts, historical or academic contexts, and refined brand systems that lean classic.
The overall tone is traditional and serious, with an editorial confidence that reads as established and trustworthy. Its strong contrast and decisive serifs give it a slightly dramatic, headline-ready presence while still feeling grounded in conventional print typography.
The font appears designed as a conventional text serif with added weight and contrast for strong typographic color and emphasis. Its aim seems to balance classic bookish proportions with a more assertive, display-capable presence for editorial typography.
The sample text shows dense, even texture at large sizes, with distinctive, slightly sculpted letterforms (notably in the curved letters and the ear/terminals) that add character without becoming decorative. The punctuation and spacing appear geared toward classic typesetting, with forms that stay crisp and legible in bold settings.
