A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clearly bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic, oldstyle-influenced construction with open counters, slightly cupped stroke endings, and a steady baseline rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel classical and wide enough for comfortable display, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation through distinctive terminals and moderately sized apertures. Numerals are sturdy and readable, matching the text weight and carrying the same serif and contrast logic for consistent color in paragraphs.
Well suited to editorial settings where a confident serif voice is needed, including magazine headlines, book typography, and pull quotes. It can also work for packaging and formal collateral that benefits from a traditional, authoritative tone, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying seriousness and authority. Its bold presence and sculpted details lend a bookish, institutional character that feels at home in established print conventions.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a strong, mature voice—combining classic serif structure with enough contrast and weight to hold its own in prominent roles.
Curves and joins are smoothly modeled, giving the face a slightly carved, ink-on-paper feel rather than a purely geometric one. The heavier weight produces a dark typographic color, while the strong contrast and bracketed serifs keep the texture lively in longer lines.
