A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are sturdy and formal with a relatively broad footprint, while lowercase maintains a conventional, readable structure with a moderate x-height and clear counters. Terminals often finish in softened wedges or teardrop/ball-like forms (notably on forms like a, c, f, j, y), giving strokes a carved, ink-trap-adjacent texture without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same robust, high-contrast rhythm, and the overall spacing reads generous enough for display sizes while remaining coherent as text.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine or book-cover typography where strong contrast and weight can carry hierarchy. It can also work for short-to-medium text settings in print-like contexts when paired with comfortable leading, especially where a classic, authoritative voice is desired.
The face conveys a traditional, bookish authority with an editorial polish. Its strong contrast and weight give it a confident, declarative tone, while the rounded terminals add a slightly humane, crafted warmth rather than a strictly mechanical feel.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif with heightened contrast and a bold presence, balancing traditional proportions with slightly sculpted terminals to add distinction in editorial and display applications.
Diagonal strokes (V, W, X, Y) show sharp, clean joins and pointed entry/exit serifs that reinforce a chiseled silhouette. The Q features a prominent, sweeping tail, and the g is single-storey, both contributing subtle character within an otherwise conventional text-serif framework.
