A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms feel wide-set with open counters and a steady, upright stance, producing a confident horizontal rhythm in text. Terminals and joins are clean and slightly sculpted, with a clear distinction between thick stems and finer hairlines that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
This font suits editorial work where a traditional, confident voice is needed—magazine features, book typography, and formal longform. Its weight and contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications that want a classic serif presence without becoming ornate.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, leaning toward traditional editorial typography. Its strong contrast and sturdy proportions convey seriousness and polish, with a slightly dramatic, print-forward presence in large settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with extra presence: strong contrast and substantial serifs give it impact, while the disciplined, readable construction supports continuous reading in paragraphs.
Uppercase shapes read as stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains clarity through generous apertures and clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals match the surrounding texture well, keeping a similarly solid, old-style-friendly feel in running text.
