A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation, bracketed wedge-like serifs, and rounded, slightly cupped terminals that give strokes a sculpted, inked feel. The capitals are stately and broad with crisp vertical stress, while many lowercase forms show softened joins and occasional bulb/ball endings (notably in a, c, f, j, y). Curves are generously rounded and counters are open, creating a bold, lively texture that reads as classic but not rigid. Numerals follow the same contrast and shaping, with pronounced curves and sturdy stems.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for editorial applications such as magazine features, book covers, and pull quotes, and can support heritage-leaning brand identities when used in larger sizes and with ample spacing.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, balancing classic bookish tradition with a touch of theatrical warmth from its rounded terminals and punchy contrast. It feels confident and formal, suited to content that aims to look established and composed rather than minimal or purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif with elevated contrast and expressive finishing, aiming to deliver a classic, established tone with heightened visual drama for display and editorial use.
In text, the heavy main strokes and sharp hairlines create a dramatic rhythm, with particularly dark spot color at larger sizes. The character shapes lean toward classic serif conventions, but the softened terminals and ball details add a distinctive, slightly playful cadence without breaking the traditional voice.
