A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show rounded, slightly calligraphic modulation in curves and joins, with generous internal counters and a steady, readable rhythm in text. Capitals feel broad and stable, while lowercase forms are compact and well-structured, with a two-storey “a” and “g” and sturdy verticals that carry weight confidently. Numerals appear traditional in proportion, with oldstyle figures that integrate naturally with lowercase text.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes—where a strong serif can carry hierarchy. It can also work for book and long-form settings when a darker, more commanding page color is desired, and for branding systems that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy impression.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, leaning toward an editorial, bookish voice rather than a contemporary or minimal one. Its weight and contrast give it a serious, institutional feel suited to established brands and traditional publishing.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif optimized for confident readability and a familiar print-forward aesthetic, balancing sturdy serifs and open forms to produce a dependable, classic typographic color.
At display sizes it reads with strong presence, while in paragraphs it maintains a consistent texture thanks to open counters and firm serifs. Curves and terminals retain a slightly hand-influenced softness that keeps the heaviness from feeling mechanical.
