A bold text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show moderate proportions with a steady rhythm, combining sturdy vertical stems with more delicate connecting strokes for a crisp, traditional texture. Curves are generously rounded and often finish in subtle ball or teardrop terminals, while joins and shoulders read clean and controlled. The lowercase has compact, bookish proportions and the numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a slightly calligraphic flow that matches the letters.
Well suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired, especially in medium to large text sizes. The bold presence and high contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, formal invitations, and classic packaging where a dependable, established tone helps carry the message.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that feels rooted in book typography. Its weight and contrast give it a confident, formal voice, while the rounded details keep it from feeling overly sharp or mechanical.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, trustworthy serif voice with enough weight and contrast for strong typographic presence. Its shaping suggests an intention to echo classical print forms while maintaining clarity and consistency in contemporary setting.
The design balances robust capitals with a warm, readable lowercase, producing a dark, even typographic color at text sizes. Distinctive details like the angled tail on the Q and the gently flared stroke endings reinforce a traditional, print-oriented character.
