A robust serif with strongly bracketed serifs and a lively, slightly calligraphic modulation. Strokes show clear thick–thin contrast, with tapered joins and cupped terminals that create a subtly inked, stamped texture at display sizes. Proportions are generous and open: round letters are broad, counters are ample, and spacing feels intentionally roomy for a steady, readable rhythm. The lowercase includes a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a prominent ball terminal on “j,” while the numerals read as oldstyle figures with varied heights and pronounced curves.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short to medium-length passages where strong color and classic serif character are desired. It can work well in editorial layouts, book covers, and brand marks that benefit from a traditional, confident presence and generous letterforms.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting confidence and tradition without feeling delicate. Its sturdy weight and expressive terminals give it an authoritative, slightly old-world voice suited to emphatic headlines and heritage-flavored branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with extra heft and expressive finishing, combining familiar text-serif construction with display-friendly contrast and distinctive terminals for impact.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V/W/X/Y) are heavy and stable, with sharp apexes and firm serif landings that reinforce a strong horizontal baseline. The face maintains consistent contrast across caps and lowercase, balancing crisp edges with softened, bracketed transitions.
