A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge-like serifs that give strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. The capitals are broad and steady, with generous internal counters (notably in C, O, Q) and a confident, even rhythm across the set. Lowercase forms show clear, conventional construction with sturdy stems, rounded bowls, and slightly tapered terminals; curves transition smoothly into thick verticals, creating a strong page color. Numerals are substantial and open, matching the text tone with firm serifs and clear differentiation between forms.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a traditional serif voice with strong presence is desired, and effective for editorial layouts, book covers, and cultural or institutional materials. It can also serve for short passages or pull quotes when a dense, authoritative typographic color is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, projecting an editorial, bookish seriousness. Its strong contrast and substantial serifs add a sense of formality and tradition, suited to dignified, institutional or literary contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with heightened emphasis and a classic print-derived flavor, balancing familiar letterforms with assertive contrast and sturdy serifs to perform strongly in prominent text roles.
Spacing in the samples reads stable and measured, supporting continuous text while keeping a bold presence. The serifs remain consistent in angle and bracketing, and the contrast is expressed more through stroke modulation than through delicate hairlines, helping maintain solidity at display sizes.
