A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, sharply cut terminals. The serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving stems a carved, sculptural feel rather than a mechanical one. Capitals are broad with strong vertical stress and ample internal counters, while lowercase forms keep a steady, traditional rhythm with a two-storey “a,” a compact, looped “g,” and a gently earled “r.” Numerals are weighty and old-style in spirit, with round forms that read clearly at display sizes and maintain the same high-contrast logic as the letters.
This font is well suited to headlines, magazine mastheads, book and poster typography, and brand marks that need a classic, authoritative presence. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable leading and not pushed to very small sizes.
The overall tone is confident and formal, evoking book typography and established print traditions. Its high-contrast, chiseled details suggest an editorial, slightly dramatic voice suited to serious or heritage-leaning messaging rather than casual UI work.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and a strong typographic color, aiming for impact in display and editorial contexts while retaining conventional proportions and familiar text-seriffed shapes.
The design leans on strong verticals and sharp joins, so it rewards generous sizing and adequate line spacing where the hairlines and bracket transitions can stay distinct. The wide set and large counters help prevent the bold color from feeling cramped, especially in all-caps settings.
