This serif shows pronounced stroke contrast with sturdy vertical stems and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs that end in fine points. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous counters and a steady, upright stance, giving the text a strong horizontal presence. Curves are smooth and rounded (notably in C, O, and the bowls of b/p), while joins and terminals stay crisp, producing a clean, polished rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry a weighty, display-leaning presence, while the lowercase remains structured and readable with traditional proportions.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book-cover titling, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice with strong presence is desired. It can also work for formal announcements and poster typography, especially when a classic, authoritative tone is needed at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels established and formal, evoking traditional publishing and institutional typography. Its strong contrast and crisp serifs add a sense of authority and ceremony, while the wide set keeps it open and confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional text-serif model by combining strong contrast and crisp, pointed finishing with wide proportions and open counters for clarity. It prioritizes a confident, print-forward voice that reads as classic and premium in display and editorial settings.
The Q features a prominent tail and the g is a single-storey form, adding a slightly distinctive flavor within an otherwise conventional text-serif vocabulary. The bold weight and sharp serif finishing make it especially assertive in headings, while still maintaining clear internal shapes in running text.
