A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Capitals are broad and steady with confident verticals, while the lowercase shows a traditional book-face structure with round bowls, compact joins, and clear, open counters. Terminals are crisp and slightly sharp, and the overall rhythm is even and text-forward, with sturdy numerals that sit firmly on the baseline.
Performs well in headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where a classic serif voice and strong contrast can carry emphasis. It also suits book and magazine settings, formal invitations, and brand systems that need a traditional, credible look.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking established publishing and institutional print. Its strong contrast and solid stance give it a confident, declarative voice suitable for serious, information-rich settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and a strong, modernized print presence, balancing classical proportions with a bolder, more attention-holding texture for display and editorial use.
Diagonal forms (notably in letters like K, V, W, and X) are cut cleanly with sharp apexes, reinforcing a crisp, engraved feel. Curved letters maintain controlled, consistent shaping, helping paragraphs look orderly and composed.
