A sturdy, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The design favors vertical, upright stems and compact proportions, with relatively tight interior counters in letters like B, P, and R. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins show subtle bracketing rather than blunt terminals. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, with a two-storey a, a compact e, and a distinct f; the g appears single-storey with a rounded bowl and ear. Numerals are classic lining figures with strong contrast and clear, old-style-inspired shapes (notably the open 4 and curved 2/3).
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine and newspaper titling, and book-cover typography where a classic serif voice is desired. Its strong contrast and sturdy stems also make it effective for posters and short, impactful lines of text.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, evoking book typography and established print culture. Its weight and contrast give it a dignified, slightly dramatic presence that feels suited to serious content and headline use without becoming ornamental.
This font appears designed to deliver a conventional, bookish serif look with added weight and contrast for emphasis. The intention seems to balance familiar text-serif structure with a more forceful, display-ready presence for contemporary editorial design.
Stroke endings stay sharp and clean, helping the letterforms hold up at larger sizes. The spacing and rhythm read fairly compact, contributing to a dense, authoritative texture in paragraph and display settings.
