A sturdy serif with pronounced stroke contrast and bracketed wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a clear calligraphic stress, with thick main stems and noticeably thinner connecting strokes, producing a crisp, high-ink texture in display sizes. Proportions lean broad with generous capitals and relatively open bowls, while spacing feels even and deliberate for paragraph settings. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a strong serif presence and clear contrast help establish hierarchy. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition without feeling overly ornate. Its weight and contrast give it a confident, formal voice suited to serious or heritage-leaning messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with extra weight and contrast for a confident page color, balancing readability with a pronounced, classic serif character.
Curved letters show smooth modulation and clean joins, and the serifs read as firmly anchored rather than delicate. The lowercase has a steady rhythm and a slightly robust color, making it feel more bookish than minimalist.
