A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show rounded joins and subtly calligraphic shaping, with a generous width and strong black presence in text. Counters are moderately open, terminals often finish in soft ball/teardrop forms, and curves (notably in C, G, S, and 2) have a smooth, swelling stroke that reinforces the high-contrast rhythm. Overall spacing and proportions read steady and conventional, tuned for continuous reading while still making a confident typographic statement.
Works well for book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine features where a strong serif texture is desirable. The substantial weight and contrast also suit display applications—section heads, pull quotes, and formal invitations—when a classic, authoritative feel is needed.
The tone is traditional and editorial, suggesting established publishing and institutional credibility. Its weight and contrast give it a formal, slightly dramatic voice suited to serious headlines and book typography rather than casual or minimalist branding.
The design appears intended as a conventional reading serif with elevated contrast and a darker color, balancing classical proportions with enough weight to hold up in prominent sizes. Its consistent, traditional construction suggests an aim toward dependable editorial performance with a more assertive presence than lighter book faces.
Uppercase forms feel stately and stable, with broad bowls and clear serif cues, while the lowercase keeps a compact, workmanlike texture. Numerals are similarly sturdy, with curved figures that echo the font’s swelling stroke modulation and soft terminal finishing.
