A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a subtle calligraphic influence: curved joins and terminals are slightly flared, while horizontals read crisp and confident. Proportions are generous with ample counters and a steady rhythm, and capitals feel sturdy and classical without becoming rigid. The lowercase maintains a clear reading texture, with compact apertures and a consistent baseline presence that holds up well at display and text sizes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads where strong contrast and crisp serifs can provide hierarchy and voice. It also works for book or long-form settings when a classic, conventional serif texture is desired, and for branding or packaging that benefits from a traditional, established tone.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness reminiscent of book and newspaper typography. Its strong contrast and decisive serifs give it a formal, institutional character while still feeling familiar and readable.
This appears designed to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened punch: strong contrast, sturdy capitals, and disciplined spacing aimed at clear hierarchy and a dependable reading rhythm. The forms balance classic bookish proportions with display-ready firmness for prominent typographic statements.
Figures are lining and integrate cleanly with the uppercase, keeping a consistent weight and contrast across the set. The design emphasizes clarity through firm verticals, clear inner spaces, and assertive terminals, producing a dense but controlled typographic color in paragraphs.
