A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, full bowls, and strongly bracketed serifs that taper into triangular terminals. Proportions read generous and slightly extended, with broad capitals and wide, open counters in letters like O, C, and e. The lowercase shows an oldstyle influence with a two‑storey a, a compact two‑storey g with a distinct ear, and a ball terminal on f; the overall rhythm is steady and text-centric rather than display-fragile. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, with clear stroke contrast and strong baseline presence.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong serif presence is desired—magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and book typography. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for classic refinement with high legibility at larger and medium sizes.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, suggesting bookish seriousness and institutional polish. Its weight and contrast give it a confident, editorial voice that feels established and trustworthy rather than trendy.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and a sturdy build, balancing classical letterform cues with enough weight to hold up in impactful settings. It prioritizes readability and a confident typographic voice over decorative novelty.
In text, the dense black strokes and tapered serifs create a lively, slightly calligraphic color while maintaining a conventional, readable texture. The shapes favor clarity over ornament, with consistent detailing across caps, lowercase, and figures.
