This serif shows pronounced stroke contrast with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered, slightly flared terminals. The letterforms are broad and generously proportioned, with a steady vertical stress and clean, decisive joins that keep counters open despite the weighty thick strokes. Lowercase forms lean traditional, with a two-storey “a,” a sturdy “g,” and a compact, upright rhythm; capitals feel stately and well-balanced, especially in rounded letters like C and O. Numerals appear text-oriented, with varied widths and subtle curvature that match the overall serif drawing rather than a strictly geometric lining set.
It suits editorial settings where a classic serif voice is needed—books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts—especially at comfortable text sizes. The broad capitals and strong contrast also make it effective for display lines, pull quotes, and refined packaging or branding where a traditional, premium feel is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Strong contrast and crisp serifs add a sense of seriousness and ceremony, while the wide stance gives headlines a confident, composed presence.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and a wide stance, balancing readability with an assertive, polished presence. It aims to deliver a classic, literary tone while remaining robust enough for prominent headings.
In text, the face maintains a dark, even color with clear word shapes and distinctive uppercase presence. The forms favor classic proportions over minimalism, and the pointed, slightly calligraphic finishing on some terminals adds refinement without becoming ornamental.
