A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic, transitional feel: rounded bowls with crisp joins, tapered strokes, and confident horizontal serifs that add a steady baseline rhythm. Counters are moderately open, with compact apertures in letters like a, e, and s, and a sturdy, weighty presence suited to display and emphatic text. The numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and distinctive curves that match the text face’s contrast and serif treatment.
This face is well suited to headlines, subheads, and title typography where a classic serif voice and strong contrast can carry presence. It also fits editorial applications such as magazine features or book titling, and can bring a traditional, premium tone to packaging and promotional materials.
The overall tone reads traditional and authoritative, with an editorial polish that feels at home in established publishing. Its strong contrast and crisp serifing give it a confident, declarative voice, while subtle curvature and ball-like terminals add a touch of warmth and classic refinement.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with added display strength—combining classic proportions and bracketed serifs with a heavier, high-contrast build for confident emphasis. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals suggests an intention to harmonize text and figures in editorial settings.
The design maintains a consistent, high-impact texture across mixed case, with generous capitals and substantial lowercase proportions that keep paragraphs looking dark and steady. Diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y) are sharply cut and energetic, and the italic is not shown in the samples, reinforcing a straightforward, upright text-and-display posture.
