A robust serif with pronounced stroke modulation and a strong vertical axis. Serifs are clearly bracketed and often wedge-like, giving terminals a carved, print-centric finish. Capitals are wide and steady with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while joins and spur details add definition in letters like G and R. Lowercase forms show traditional proportions with a compact rhythm, rounded bowls, and a double-storey a; the g reads as a single-storey form with a full bowl and a modest ear. Numerals follow the same sturdy, high-contrast logic, with clear shapes and firm baseline presence.
Well-suited to headlines, editorial layouts, and book-cover titling where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and pronounced serifs help it hold up in larger sizes for posters and packaging, and it can also serve as a sturdy choice for short text passages, pull quotes, and formal subheads.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with a bookish, institutional character. Its weight and sharp serifs project seriousness and authority, while the classic construction keeps it familiar and readable in conventional settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented serif with a confident, traditional voice—built to deliver strong typographic presence while staying within familiar, classical forms.
In text, the face creates a dark, even color with crisp edges and assertive serifs, making it feel more display-leaning at larger sizes while still retaining conventional text-serif structure. Curved letters maintain smooth, controlled contours, and the punctuation and spacing in the sample suggest a composed, formal rhythm.
