This is a robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge-like serifs that read crisply at display sizes. Capitals are broad and steady with strong verticals and slightly flared terminals, while the lowercase shows compact, rounded bowls and firm, angled joins that create a confident rhythm. Counters are moderately open, apertures are relatively tight in letters like c and e, and the overall color on the page is dense but controlled. Numerals follow the same sculpted, high-contrast logic, with clear baseline weight and traditional proportions.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, and other short-to-medium text where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It would suit editorial layouts, book and cultural packaging, and brand wordmarks that want a classic, authoritative voice.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial tone—confident, cultivated, and slightly dramatic due to its strong contrast and bold presence. It feels at home in contexts that aim for credibility and refinement rather than casualness.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with extra presence: traditional proportions and familiar forms are reinforced by higher contrast and assertive serifs to create impact in contemporary editorial settings.
Stroke endings often resolve into sharp, triangular serifs and tapered terminals, giving the face a carved, print-like character. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a steady, upright texture with clear word shapes and an intentionally weighty page color.
