A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed serifs that give strokes a sculpted, carved feel. Counters are generally open and the rhythm is steady, with slightly flared terminals and wedge-like finishing on many strokes. The lowercase shows a traditional, oldstyle leaning construction (notably in the two-storey forms and the ear/tail details), while capitals are broad and weighty with confident, stable proportions. Numerals match the text weight and contrast, reading clearly with rounded joins and firm, serifed endings.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book-cover typography where a traditional serif voice is desired with extra weight and contrast. It can also work for posters, identity wordmarks, and pull quotes that benefit from a bold, classic print character.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking book typography and established print traditions. Its high-contrast strokes and pronounced serifs add a sense of ceremony and seriousness, while the rounded joins keep it from feeling brittle or overly sharp.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif voice with heightened contrast and mass for stronger display impact, while maintaining familiar, readable letterforms for extended lines of text.
In text, the color is dense and emphatic, with clear word shapes and strong vertical stress. The combination of wide capitals and substantial serifs produces a commanding presence, especially in headings and short blocks where the letterforms can breathe.
