A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a mostly vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed yet crisp, giving strokes a carved, bookish finish; terminals often resolve into small balls or teardrops, especially in letters like a, c, f, and y. Proportions feel traditional with moderate x-height, sturdy stems, and slightly condensed internal counters that keep the color rich. Numerals and capitals maintain the same confident contrast and sharp detailing, producing a strong, even typographic texture in paragraphs.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong serif voice is desired, from magazine headlines to pull quotes and section openers. It can also serve in book typography and formal brand applications that benefit from a traditional, high-contrast texture, particularly in larger sizes where the detailing remains clear.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial presence. Its high-contrast rhythm and sharp finishing details evoke traditional publishing and formal communication, projecting confidence and seriousness without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and assertive weight, balancing readability with a pronounced, classic presence. It aims to deliver a refined printed-page feel while providing enough punch for titles and prominent typographic moments.
Curved forms show noticeable flare into the serifs and a deliberate, slightly calligraphic logic in joins and terminals. The lowercase a is double-storey and the g is double-storey with a prominent ear, reinforcing a conventional text-serifs voice while keeping the silhouette lively at display sizes.
