A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. Capitals are broad and steady with strong verticals and compact joins, while the lowercase shows traditional, oldstyle-style movement in bowls and terminals. The forms keep a consistent rhythm with clear counters and a confident baseline, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with weighty stems and sharply tapered diagonals.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and serif-driven branding where a traditional tone is desired. It performs especially well in headlines, pull quotes, and posters where its contrast and bracketed serifs can register clearly. For extended text, moderate sizes with comfortable line spacing will help preserve its crisp details and maintain readability.
The tone is classical and institutional, projecting authority and tradition without feeling delicate. Its strong contrast and sturdy serifs create an editorial, bookish voice that reads as serious and established.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that can also scale into strong display use. It prioritizes a familiar, time-tested structure and a confident typographic color for serious publishing and identity work.
In text, the weight and contrast produce a dark, even color that suits display and short-form reading, while the sharp terminals and tight interior details encourage comfortable sizing for longer passages. The overall drawing favors clarity and formality over softness, with crisp edges and a controlled, conventional texture.
