A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and compact, bracketed wedge serifs that end in sharp, triangular terminals. Curves are full and weighty, with crisp joins and a steady vertical stress that keeps forms upright and controlled. The lowercase shows rounded bowls and clear counters, while details like ball terminals (notably on the lowercase f) and pointed arm endings add a slightly calligraphic bite. Numerals and capitals share the same strong, sculpted presence, giving the face a dense, confident texture in text.
This font is well suited to headlines and deck copy where strong contrast and crisp serifs can create impact. It also fits editorial and book-title settings that benefit from a traditional, confident voice, and can work for branding or poster typography when a classic serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, with a classic book-and-newspaper seriousness. Its sharp terminals and substantial color make it feel emphatic and ceremonial, suited to messages that need authority and gravitas rather than casual friendliness.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened emphasis: a sturdy, high-contrast structure paired with sharp, wedge-like terminals for clarity and punch in display and editorial contexts.
The design mixes sturdy, compact proportions with energetic, pointed finishing strokes, producing a lively rhythm despite the heavy overall color. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright.
