A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed serifs. The letterforms have sturdy vertical stems, compact apertures, and a relatively horizontal stress that reads clearly at display and text-like sizes. Terminals are crisp and slightly sculpted, with ball-like dots on i/j and traditional, somewhat narrow counters in letters like a, e, and s. Capitals feel solid and blocky, while the numerals are similarly weighty and structured, keeping an even rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and cover typography where a traditional serif voice is desired with extra presence. It can also support short-to-medium passages in layouts that benefit from a strong, classic reading texture, such as magazines, book covers, and promotional print pieces.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial, print-forward presence. Its weight and contrast give it a confident, headline-ready voice that still feels rooted in conventional book and newspaper typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif palette with heightened weight and contrast for emphasis, balancing classic proportions with a sturdy, attention-holding texture for contemporary editorial use.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep heavy strokes from clogging, and the shapes maintain a consistent serif treatment across upper- and lowercase. The lowercase includes a two-storey a and g, reinforcing a traditional reading texture.
