A bold, high-contrast serif with clearly bracketed serifs and a traditional, calligraphic construction. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with smooth joins and slightly tapered terminals, giving the letters a sculpted, ink-on-paper feel rather than a rigid geometric one. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with relatively large bowls and counters, and a rhythm that stays even across uppercase and lowercase while retaining variable glyph widths typical of text serifs.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and other print-forward contexts that benefit from a traditional serif voice. The heavier color and strong contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where a classic, authoritative presence is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority and formality without becoming ornamental. Its strong weight and crisp contrast evoke editorial and book typography, with a slightly historic, print-centric character.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with elevated contrast and a confident weight, balancing classic proportions with a strong typographic color for modern editorial and display use.
The numerals and capitals read as particularly weighty, supporting headline settings, while the lowercase maintains a steady baseline and clear differentiation between forms. Serifs remain consistent in shape and bracketing, helping long strings of text feel cohesive and anchored.
