This serif shows strong thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a sturdy, dark color on the page. Capitals are broad and stately with sharp apexes and clear vertical stress, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable rhythm with rounded bowls and firm, tapered joins. Terminals frequently finish in subtle teardrops or ball-like shapes (notably on letters such as a, c, f, r, and y), adding a mildly calligraphic texture without becoming ornate. Numerals appear oldstyle with noticeable ascenders and descenders, matching the text’s vertical rhythm and giving figures a traditional, bookish tone.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine layouts, and traditional publishing where a strong serif voice is desired. Its dark weight and high contrast also make it effective for headlines, section openers, and pull quotes, and the oldstyle numerals fit comfortably in running text and classic-style packaging or labeling.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with a distinctly literary, print-forward feel. Its weight and contrast communicate seriousness and authority, while the soft terminal detailing keeps it from feeling cold or mechanical. The result is a composed, editorial voice suited to established, classical typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-centric serif with pronounced contrast and robust presence, balancing classical proportions with slightly decorative terminals to add warmth and character. It aims for dependable readability and a recognizable traditional tone that works across extended text and emphatic display settings.
Spacing and proportions create a steady, even paragraph color, and the serif treatment remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The design favors sturdy stems and well-defined counters, helping it maintain clarity at display and text sizes while preserving a distinctly traditional texture.
