A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that flare softly from the stems. Capitals are broad and steady, with rounded joins and a clear, classical construction; curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and full, while horizontals on E and F read strong and slightly tapered. The lowercase shows an oldstyle influence with a two-storey a, a compact e, and a g with a rounded lower loop; terminals are subtly teardropped and the stroke endings feel calligraphic rather than mechanical. Numerals are weighty and high-contrast, with generous curves and clear counters, keeping a consistent, print-oriented texture.
Well suited to editorial headlines, deck text, and other display-forward applications where a classic serif presence is desired. It also fits book and magazine contexts—particularly for titles, pull quotes, and section openers—where strong contrast and traditional letterforms reinforce a literary tone.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a distinctly bookish, editorial voice. Its strong contrast and substantial serifs lend an authoritative, classic feel suited to formal communication, while the softly modeled curves keep it from feeling austere.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional, print-rooted serif voice with strong contrast and sturdy, bracketed serifs, balancing classical proportions with enough weight to hold attention in prominent settings.
In the sample text, the face creates a dark, even typographic color with clear word shapes, emphasizing presence and hierarchy. The serifs and contrast remain legible at large sizes, and the rounded details help maintain cohesion across mixed-case text and numerals.
