A robust serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and a confident, weighty color on the page. Strokes show moderate contrast with subtly calligraphic modulation, producing rounded joins and softened transitions rather than crisp, mechanical terminals. Proportions are generously set with broad capitals and full-bodied lowercase; counters remain open despite the heavy weight. The italic is not shown, but the roman includes expressive details such as a distinctive, flowing tail on the Q and a slightly angled, lively stance in several lowercase forms.
Well suited to headlines and short-to-medium editorial passages where a strong, classic serif voice is desired. It should perform especially well in magazine typography, book covers, and branding systems that need a traditional, authoritative tone with some humanist character. The weight and sturdy serifs also make it a good choice for posters and pull quotes where impact is important.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, with a traditional bookish presence and a slightly lively, humanist warmth. Its weight and strong serifs add authority and seriousness, while the rounded modulation keeps it approachable rather than rigid.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with added weight for presence, balancing traditional proportions with subtly calligraphic details to keep the texture lively in both display and reading contexts.
In text, the font maintains a steady rhythm and strong word shapes, with pronounced entry/exit strokes that create a subtly animated texture. Numerals match the serifed, oldstyle-leaning character of the letters, blending smoothly into mixed text settings while still reading clearly at display sizes.
