A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clearly bracketed serifs that give strokes a sculpted, engraved feel. The letterforms are broad and generously proportioned, with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm that stays clear at display sizes. Joins and terminals are crisp rather than soft, and the numerals share the same weighty presence and contrast, reading confidently in running text and headlines alike.
Well suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and titling where a traditional serif presence is desired. The strong contrast and broad proportions also make it effective for posters, pull quotes, and other display applications that benefit from a confident, classic tone.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting seriousness and credibility with a traditional, bookish voice. Its strong contrast and ample proportions add a sense of refinement while remaining assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-impact serif voice that bridges readability with a more dramatic, display-friendly presence. Its wide stance and structured detailing suggest an emphasis on clarity, authority, and classic typographic flavor in prominent settings.
Uppercase forms feel stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains a readable, conventional texture with clear differentiation between similar shapes. The figures are full-bodied and prominent, suited to settings where numbers need to stand out alongside text.
