A robust serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer hairlines, paired with confident, bracketed serifs. Capitals are broad and steady, with generous interior counters and a slightly condensed rhythm in the vertical strokes that keeps lines of text compact and even. Lowercase forms are sturdy and legible, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” strong vertical stress, and clear differentiation across similar shapes. Numerals are weighty and well-aligned, designed to sit firmly on the baseline and hold up at display and text sizes.
Well-suited for editorial design, book and magazine typography, and formal brand systems that need a strong serif voice. It performs especially well in headlines and subheads where its contrast and sturdy serifs create a confident, high-impact presence, while still maintaining a steady reading texture for shorter passages.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, evoking traditional publishing and institutional typography. Its dark color and crisp detailing communicate authority and seriousness, while the controlled proportions keep it readable and composed in continuous reading.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional text serif into a heavier, more emphatic style that preserves classical structure. It prioritizes a dark, authoritative color and clear letter differentiation for confident editorial hierarchy.
Stroke endings are sharply defined and the serif treatment reads as traditional rather than geometric, giving the face a familiar print-driven character. The sample text shows a consistent texture with strong emphasis in headings, suggesting it can carry punchy typographic hierarchy without losing clarity.
