A robust serif with pronounced stroke modulation and a broad, steady stance. Serifs are prominent and often wedge-like with noticeable bracketing, giving the outlines a carved, slightly calligraphic feel despite the upright construction. The bowls and counters are generous, while joins and terminals show subtle shaping that adds texture (including occasional pointed or teardrop-like details). Overall spacing reads open for the weight, creating a strong rhythm in text and a solid, authoritative silhouette in display sizes.
Performs best in headlines, standfirsts, and titling where its contrast and prominent serifs can read cleanly and add character. It also suits magazine typography and book cover work that benefits from a traditional, authoritative serif voice.
The tone is classic and assertive, with an old-style editorial polish that feels suited to print traditions. Its weight and crisp contrast project confidence and gravitas, while the subtly sculpted terminals add a touch of craft rather than a purely mechanical look.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with extra weight and sculptural detailing for impact. The combination of strong contrast, generous width, and shaped terminals suggests an intention to bridge text reliability with display-level presence.
Uppercase forms feel stately and stable, while lowercase has a lively, slightly old-world texture—especially in rounded letters where the thick-to-thin transitions are most visible. Numerals are sturdy and legible, with clear differentiation and strong baseline presence.
