This serif has pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline joins and sturdy vertical stems, producing a crisp, high-contrast texture. Serifs are bracketed and fairly sharp, with compact terminals that keep counters open despite the heavy weight. The forms feel slightly expanded overall, with broad rounds and generous interior space; the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and a clear two-storey “a.” Numerals echo the same contrast and serif treatment, with a strong baseline presence and classical proportions.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for pull quotes, section openers, and book-cover titling, especially when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, suggesting tradition and authority rather than friendliness. Its strong contrast and wide set give it a stately, headline-forward voice that reads as confident and established.
The design appears intended as a conventional, classical serif with heightened contrast and a broad stance, aiming for impact and refinement in editorial and display contexts while keeping letterforms familiar and readable.
In text, the wide stance and strong vertical emphasis create a robust rhythm with distinct word shapes. The hairline connections and sharp details become a key part of the character, so clean reproduction and adequate size help preserve the elegant contrast.
