A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and strongly bracketed, slightly flared serifs. The proportions read generous and open, with wide rounds and a steady, upright stance. Terminals are crisp and ball-like in places, giving the shapes a slightly lively, old-style-inflected finish despite the overall firmness. Counters stay clear at display sizes, and the numerals match the letterforms with weighty curves and confident verticals.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a classic serif tone is desired with extra visual impact. It should work effectively on book and magazine covers, branding systems that want heritage cues, and short blocks of emphasis text where its contrast and sturdy serifs can carry the composition.
The tone is classic and assertive, with a familiar editorial voice that feels trustworthy and established. Its bold presence and crisp detailing give it a slightly dramatic, attention-holding character while remaining rooted in conventional book typographic norms.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading texture with heightened impact—pairing familiar, bookish letter skeletons with sturdy weight and crisp serif finishing to perform confidently in display and editorial settings.
The font shows a consistent, even rhythm across the alphabet, with rounded forms that feel full and stable. The lowercase includes traditional two-storey structures where expected, and the punctuation in the sample text reads sturdy and prominent, supporting a strong headline presence.
