A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a slightly calligraphic, tapering behavior, with energetic curves and compact internal counters that keep the color dense. Capitals are broad and commanding with strong vertical stress, while lowercase forms are round and weighty with a moderate x-height and distinct stroke terminals. Overall spacing reads comfortably open for a display-leaning serif, with clear differentiation between characters and a confident, rhythmic texture.
This font performs best at larger sizes where the contrast, bracketed serifs, and sculpted curves can be appreciated—ideal for headlines, subheads, book and magazine titles, and heritage-leaning branding. It can also work for short blocks of text or pull quotes when a strong, traditional serif presence is desired.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking book typography and old-style editorial headlines. Its heavy presence and lively contrast give it a dignified, slightly dramatic voice that feels suited to established institutions and classic publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-forward serif voice with strong emphasis and refined contrast, combining traditional proportions with assertive weight for confident display typography.
Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, with classic proportions and clear weight distribution. The design maintains consistent contrast and serif treatment across cases, while allowing subtle width variation that adds a handcrafted, typographic warmth rather than a strictly mechanical feel.
