A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and firmly bracketed serifs that taper to crisp terminals. The capitals are broad and steady, with smooth, rounded bowls (C, O) and strong vertical stress; the lowercase shows compact counters and a traditional rhythm with a two-storey a and g. Joins and curves are clean and controlled, with slightly flared strokes at terminals that add weight without becoming slab-like. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear, open forms and confident, print-oriented proportions.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a classic serif voice and strong hierarchy are needed, such as magazine features, book interiors with sturdy emphasis, and section heads. Its dense, high-contrast shapes also work effectively for titles, pull quotes, and packaging or branding that aims for heritage and authority.
The overall tone is traditional and institutional, projecting credibility and editorial seriousness. Its strong contrast and decisive serifs give it a slightly dramatic, headline-ready presence while still reading as a conventional book serif. The impression is polished and deliberate rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elevated, display-capable finish—combining traditional letterforms with heightened contrast and sturdy serifs to deliver clarity, gravitas, and strong typographic presence.
Texture is moderately dark and even, with a clear vertical emphasis and a measured pace in the lowercase. The italic is not shown; the sample focuses on a single upright style with consistent serif behavior across letters and figures.
