A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and sharply tapered hairlines paired to weighty stems. Serifs are clearly bracketed and angled, giving a chiseled, print-like finish rather than a slab feel. Proportions read generously set and sturdy, with rounded forms (C, O) showing smooth curves and tight joins, and diagonals (V, W, Y) forming crisp, pointed terminals. Lowercase features a double-storey g, a compact, sturdy a, and prominent ball terminals on letters like f and r, reinforcing a traditional text-serif build with a distinctly dark, punchy color.
This face suits editorial headlines, book and magazine titling, and other situations where a classic serif voice and strong typographic presence are desired. It can also work for short passages and pull quotes when a darker, more dramatic texture is appropriate.
The tone is formal and editorial, evoking traditional book typography and institutional gravitas. Its strong contrast and emphatic serifs add a sense of ceremony and authority, while the smooth curves keep it from feeling mechanical.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, print-oriented serif with heightened contrast and sturdy proportions, aiming for a confident, classic voice that performs especially well in titling and prominent text.
At display sizes the sharp hairlines and pointed joins read clean and dramatic, producing an assertive rhythm in headlines. Numerals appear oldstyle in feel with varied heights and pronounced contrast, supporting a classic, literary texture.
