A robust, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Stems are heavy and vertical, while joins and curves show a subtly calligraphic stress that gives round letters a sculpted, slightly flared feel. The lowercase is compact with a moderate x-height, strong ascenders, and distinctive ball terminals (notably in letters like a, f, j, and y). Overall spacing reads steady and bookish, with clear counters and a confident, weighty rhythm suited to setting text at larger sizes.
Well suited for editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. Its weight and contrast make it especially effective for headings, pull quotes, and display settings, while the steady rhythm can also support short-to-medium text passages in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The font conveys a formal, traditional tone with an assertive editorial voice. Its strong contrast and confident serifing evoke classic print typography—serious, literary, and a bit dramatic—without feeling ornamental. The ball terminals add a touch of warmth and personality, keeping the tone from becoming purely austere.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text serif through stronger weight and heightened contrast, delivering an authoritative page color while retaining familiar, readable proportions. Ball terminals and sculpted curves provide a recognizable signature that helps it stand out in editorial and literary applications.
Numerals appear in an oldstyle style, with varying heights and some descenders, reinforcing a classic text-oriented character. Capitals are sturdy and balanced, and the design maintains consistent contrast and serif treatment across the alphabet, giving paragraphs a dense, authoritative color.
