A heavy, high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed serifs, rounded terminals, and pronounced swelling through curves. The capitals are broad and steady with generous, dark vertical stems and clear modulation into thin hairlines, while the lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with ball-like terminals and a slightly calligraphic stress. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, creating an inky, poster-ready texture, and spacing reads even and disciplined across text. Figures appear oldstyle-influenced in feel, with soft curves and strong weight distribution that matches the letterforms.
Well-suited to headlines, display copy, and editorial settings where a strong classic voice is needed. It can work effectively for book covers, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a traditional serif with substantial presence and clear structure.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an old-world editorial seriousness. Its weight and contrast give it a stately, institutional presence that can feel formal and confident rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with maximum impact: classic proportions and familiar shapes, reinforced by strong weight, crisp contrast, and sturdy bracketing for confident readability at display sizes.
Round letters (like O/C/G) emphasize a vertical stress and smooth, sculpted joins, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) remain sturdy and sharply finished. The design keeps a consistent rhythm across sizes, producing a bold, continuous typographic color that favors impact over airy delicacy.
