A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms show a slightly calligraphic, diagonal stress, with wedge-like terminals and occasional ball terminals that add texture to the rhythm. Uppercase proportions are solid and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase keeps a steady x-height with clear ascenders and descenders. Curves are full and well-supported by strong verticals, producing dense color and confident word shapes in text.
This design is well-suited to headlines and subheads where its strong contrast and pronounced serifs can carry a page. It also fits editorial and book-cover typography that benefits from a classic, authoritative texture, especially in short to medium passages set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a confident, authoritative presence. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast strokes evoke editorial tradition and a formal, established voice rather than a casual or minimalist one.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional text-serif voice with added punch and contrast for emphasis, balancing readability with a more assertive, display-leaning presence. Its detailing suggests an intention to feel traditional and crafted while remaining straightforward to set in common editorial layouts.
The character set shown emphasizes sturdy verticals and energetic curves, with distinctive detailing in letters like J, Q, and the lowercase a/e that reinforces a traditional text-serif identity. Numerals match the weight and contrast of the letters, reading clearly at display-like sizes.
