This serif presents sturdy, upright letterforms with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with crisp terminals that give the shapes a chiseled, print-oriented feel. Capitals are broad and steady, while lowercase forms keep a conventional, readable skeleton with compact joins and clear counters. The overall rhythm is dense and weighty, with strong vertical emphasis and controlled curves that keep text looking orderly at larger sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, book and magazine typography, and title treatments where a traditional serif voice is desired. The weight and contrast help it hold presence in display sizes, while the conventional proportions make it appropriate for short-to-medium editorial text and formal brand wordmarks.
The tone is classic and serious, evoking established publishing and institutional typography. Its strong contrast and firm serifs lend an authoritative, headline-ready presence while still reading as familiar and traditional.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for classic typography, balancing familiar text structures with a bolder, more declarative color for titles and prominent copy.
Figures appear robust and oldstyle-leaning in color, matching the letters’ strong vertical stress. Round letters maintain a slightly narrowed inner space at heavy joins, contributing to a dark, emphatic typographic color in paragraphs.
