A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sculpted, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle construction: rounded bowls with tapered joins, a flowing ear on the lowercase g, and an angled stress that keeps counters lively. Capitals are broad and steady with strong vertical presence, while the lowercase maintains a traditional rhythm with moderate ascenders and descenders and a compact, sturdy silhouette. Numerals echo the same carved, high-contrast modeling, with generous curves and sharp terminals that read crisply at display sizes.
This font performs best in titles, headings, and editorial settings where a strong serif voice is desired—such as magazine cover lines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and display typography. Its high-contrast modeling and bold texture make it especially effective for impactful short-to-medium length text, where the classical details can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, combining classical bookish cues with a bold, confident presence. It feels traditional and dependable, with enough sharpness and contrast to convey formality and gravity in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and weight for stronger emphasis. It balances traditional, book-derived proportions and calligraphic cues with a firmer, more assertive color suited to contemporary editorial and branding applications.
Serifs are consistently wedge-like and slightly flared, giving endpoints a chiseled look rather than a flat slab. The italic is not shown; the samples demonstrate a strong roman with clear word shapes and a dark overall color that benefits from comfortable line spacing.
