A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Curves are full and slightly lively, with a noticeable oldstyle tilt in the round letters and a gently organic, ink-trap-free construction. Capitals feel sturdy and slightly wide, while lowercase forms show traditional proportions, a two-storey a, a compact two-storey g, and soft, ball-like terminals on letters such as c, f, j, and y. Numerals are weighty and high-contrast, with oldstyle-flavored shapes and ample interior counters that help preserve clarity at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can work for book covers, posters, and heritage-leaning branding systems that benefit from a strong, traditional typographic texture.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a confident, authoritative color on the page. Its heavy presence and traditional detailing suggest heritage publishing, institutional communication, and formal editorial typography rather than a minimalist or technical voice.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif reading impression with extra punch and contrast, pairing traditional letterforms with a more assertive, display-ready weight. The intent appears to be a dependable, classic type style that remains expressive and impactful in larger settings.
The rhythm is dense and energetic, with strong vertical stress and substantial serifs that create a firm baseline. In text, the weight and contrast produce a distinctly “inked” texture, making it best suited to larger sizes where counters and hairlines can breathe.
