A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that end in slightly flared, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show compact proportions with generous counters and a steady, classical rhythm; curves transition sharply into stems, giving a crisp, engraved feel at display sizes. Several shapes feature rounded or teardrop terminals (notably in C, S, a, c, and f), and the numerals read as oldstyle with varying heights and descenders, reinforcing an editorial text-seriffed character.
This style suits editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and other long-form settings where a classic serif voice is desired. Its strong presence also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a traditional, trust-forward tone.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking book typography and established print voices. Its strong contrast and sturdy serifs lend a formal, institutional presence, while the rounded terminals add a touch of warmth rather than austerity.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif with strong contrast and confident silhouettes, balancing readability with a distinctly formal, editorial personality. The inclusion of oldstyle-looking numerals and rounded terminals suggests an aim toward classic typographic color and a refined, established feel.
The uppercase appears weighty and stable with clear vertical stress, while the lowercase maintains a lively texture through pronounced joins and ball-like terminals. Spacing in the sample text looks comfortably open for a serif of this weight, helping keep dense paragraphs readable while still projecting a headline-ready solidity.
