This serif presents strong thick–thin modulation with pronounced bracketed serifs and a steady, upright stance. Capitals feel broad and stable, with crisp terminals and clear vertical stress, while the lowercase combines rounded bowls with subtly calligraphic joins. The overall rhythm is robust and readable, with slightly varied letter widths and firm, dark strokes that hold together well in text.
Well suited for long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts where a strong serif texture is desirable. It also performs confidently in titles, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The tone is traditional and bookish, projecting a composed, editorial seriousness. Its high-contrast drawing and confident serifs add a sense of authority and polish without drifting into overt ornament.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances classical proportions with a firm, modern print presence. It aims to provide a dependable reading experience while offering enough stroke contrast and serif character to feel refined in display sizes.
Details like the energetic diagonals in K, V, W, and X, the generous bowls in B, D, O, and Q, and the open forms in e and c contribute to an even texture in paragraphs. Numerals are similarly weighty and classical in feel, matching the text color of the letters for consistent setting.
