A sturdy serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper to sharp points. The letterforms show generous bowls and open counters, with a compact, controlled rhythm that stays readable at text sizes while still feeling assertive. Uppercase shapes are relatively broad and stable, while the lowercase combines round, weighty forms with clear joins and a distinct double-storey structure where expected. Numerals follow the same text-first logic, mixing straight stems with rounded curves and strong baseline presence.
Well-suited to editorial layouts where a classic serif voice and strong typographic hierarchy are needed, such as magazines, longform articles, and book typography. It can also carry headlines and pull quotes effectively thanks to its darker texture and clear shapes, and it works for formal print branding where a conventional, authoritative impression is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with an editorial seriousness that suggests books, institutions, and established brands. Its strong contrast and solid color lend a slightly dramatic, print-oriented feel, while the familiar proportions keep it grounded and conventional rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for text and display use, prioritizing familiar forms, robust presence, and disciplined contrast. Its detailing suggests an aim to balance traditional bookish refinement with enough weight and clarity to hold up in modern editorial settings.
Curves tend to finish with subtle ball-like terminals in places, adding a touch of warmth to an otherwise firm, structured design. Diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) are sharp and decisive, and the typeface maintains consistent serif treatment across capitals, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive text voice.
