A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle influence: curved joins and tapered terminals soften the otherwise weighty, authoritative color. Counters are moderately open, with sturdy verticals and subtly flared details on letters like C, E, and S that add rhythm and texture in text. The lowercase maintains a conventional x-height with compact ascenders and deep, rounded bowls, while capitals feel broad and stately with ample presence.
Best suited for headlines, editorial display, and book-cover typography where a classic serif with strong presence is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for a traditional, established feel, and works well in posters or pull quotes where its bold rhythm can carry the message.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting tradition and credibility while still feeling energetic due to the lively modulation and sculpted terminals. Its heavy, high-impact color reads as confident and slightly dramatic, well suited to editorial or heritage-leaning typography.
This font appears designed to deliver a conventional text-serif silhouette with elevated contrast and a more sculpted, expressive finish, prioritizing authority and legibility at display sizes. The bracketed serifs and oldstyle-like modulation suggest an intention to evoke heritage typography while remaining clean and contemporary in its spacing and structure.
In the sample text, the boldness and contrast create a strong page color that favors larger sizes; at smaller sizes the sharp modulation and compact inner spaces may need generous tracking and line spacing. Numerals share the same sculpted, serifed construction, supporting a cohesive, traditional typographic voice.
