A high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. Capitals are broad and sturdy, with crisp terminals and slightly sculpted joins that give letters a chiseled, engraved feel. Lowercase forms keep a traditional, readable structure with a compact rhythm, rounded bowls, and assertive entry/exit strokes; ascenders are tall and the serifs remain prominent even at smaller sizes. Numerals are weighty and old-style–leaning in silhouette, with curved terminals and clear differentiation between figures.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine titles, and book-cover typography where its contrast and prominent serifs can be appreciated. It can work for short blocks of text or lead paragraphs when a dense, classic tone is desired, but it will feel most comfortable at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, combining traditional bookish manners with a slightly theatrical, display-ready punch. Its strong contrast and emphatic serifs convey seriousness and heritage while still feeling energetic in headlines.
Designed to present a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and more assertive, characterful serifs for stronger presence in display and editorial contexts.
The texture in paragraph setting is dark and deliberate, with clear vertical emphasis and noticeable thick–thin patterning. Pointed terminals and occasional swash-like strokes (notably in some capitals and diagonals) add personality without abandoning conventional serif norms.
