A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a strong vertical axis and controlled, slightly tapered terminals, with round characters (like O and C) built from smooth, high-contrast curves. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and dignified, while the lowercase has compact bowls and clear counters that stay open even at heavier stroke weights. Spacing reads steady and text-ready, with a confident rhythm across both the alphabet and lining numerals.
It performs especially well in headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its contrast and serifs can add structure and impact. In longer passages it suits editorial and literary contexts—magazine features, book typography, and formal communications—where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, evoking the voice of established publishing and traditional print. Its sharp serifs and emphatic contrast give it an authoritative, slightly dramatic presence without tipping into ornament.
The design appears intended as a conventional, publication-oriented serif that balances strong contrast with dependable readability. It aims to deliver a familiar, authoritative texture for display and editorial settings while keeping letterforms disciplined and consistent.
Details such as the ear on the lowercase g, the sharp, triangular-like joins in letters such as V/W, and the crisp cross strokes contribute to a precise, engraved feel. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, with strong contrast that matches the capitals.
