A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modeling and crisp, bracketed serifs that read as slightly beaked on several forms. The design is broad and open, with ample internal space in counters and a steady, upright stance. Curves are smoothly drawn and weighty, while joints and terminals show a carved, ink-trap-free sharpness that keeps edges decisive at display sizes. Spacing appears generous and the overall rhythm is emphatic, producing a strong typographic color in text lines.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and other prominent editorial settings where its strong contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can work for book and magazine typography, especially for titles, pull quotes, and section openers. The weight and width also make it effective for branding applications that call for a classic, authoritative voice.
The tone is traditional and commanding, evoking established print typography and institutional seriousness. Its strong contrast and broad proportions give it an editorial, headline-forward presence that feels confident rather than delicate. Overall it suggests credibility, heritage, and formality.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text-serif foundation with amplified contrast and broadened proportions, targeting impactful reading at larger sizes. It aims to balance classical serif cues with a bold, contemporary presence for editorial and display typography.
Uppercase forms feel monumental and slightly condensed in detail but expansive in width, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation (notably in a, g, and y) for recognizable word shapes. Numerals are sturdy and attention-grabbing, matching the weight and contrast of the letters, with a distinctly display-oriented emphasis.
