A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed serifs. Capitals are wide and steady with sharp, slightly flared terminals on forms like C, G, S, and T, while round letters show generous bowls and a clear vertical stress. Lowercase combines sturdy stems with compact joins and subtly calligraphic shaping; the a is double-storey, and the g is single-storey with an open, horizontal ear. Numerals are weighty and text-like, featuring noticeable contrast and small finishing strokes that match the letterforms.
It is well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where a confident serif voice is needed. The sturdy construction also makes it a good fit for book typography, branding systems with a classic tone, and packaging or labels that benefit from traditional typographic cues.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and seriousness without feeling ornate. Its strong contrast and crisp finishing details add a refined, bookish character suited to institutional and literary contexts.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly legible serif with enough contrast and detailing to feel premium in print-like settings. Its shaping balances durability and refinement, aiming for an authoritative text-and-display workhorse rather than a decorative statement face.
Spacing appears comfortable for text, with dense color and clear internal counters that hold up well at display sizes in the sample. The design favors traditional proportions and confident stroke endings, giving headlines a solid, established presence.
