A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and firmly bracketed serifs. The letterforms are generously proportioned with broad caps and a steady, upright stance, creating a confident page color at display and text sizes. Curves are rounded and full, with a mix of sharp joins and softened transitions; several glyphs show ball-like terminals and small, tapering details that add a slightly sculpted, oldstyle flavor. Numerals and lowercase maintain an even rhythm, with clear counters and a distinctly weighty vertical emphasis.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and weight can deliver impact. It also fits editorial and book-cover typography that benefits from a classic serif voice, and can serve as a strong typographic anchor in posters and print layouts.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and seriousness without feeling brittle. Its strong contrast and substantial shapes give it a classic, bookish presence suited to established institutions and print-forward design.
The design appears intended to provide a classic serif voice with heightened presence: sturdy proportions, clear contrast, and traditional detailing aimed at confident reading and strong typographic hierarchy.
The face reads best when allowed some breathing room, as the heavy stems and contrast create a dense texture in paragraphs. Distinctive details—such as the ball terminal on the lowercase “g” and the curved tail on “Q”—add character while staying within a conventional serif framework.
