A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply cut, bracketed serifs. The letterforms feel slightly expanded with broad capitals, full bowls, and strong horizontal stress cues in characters like E and F. Terminals are crisp and often wedge-like, with a lively, almost calligraphic tension in joins and diagonals. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact, with a relatively even rhythm and clear counters that hold up well at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve branding and packaging that needs a traditional, established impression, and works especially well for book covers and posters where strong typographic color is an asset.
The overall tone is traditional and weighty, projecting authority and seriousness with an editorial, bookish flavor. Its sharp serifs and high contrast add a touch of drama, giving text a confident, emphatic presence rather than a quiet, neutral voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with heightened contrast and substantial weight for strong readability and impact. It aims for a timeless, literary feel while maintaining crisp detail and confident presence in larger sizes.
Figures are substantial and old-style in feel, with noticeable curves and strong contrast that matches the letterforms. The dense color and prominent serifs create a commanding texture in paragraphs, favoring impact and presence over delicacy.
