A robust serif with compact proportions, confident weight, and crisply bracketed wedge-like serifs. Stroke endings often taper into pointed terminals, giving many letters a subtly incised, chiseled feel despite the solid overall color. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C, O, and S), while joins and diagonals stay clean and decisive, producing a steady, readable rhythm in text. Lowercase forms are conventional and open, with a two-storey a, a single-storey g, and a strong, vertical stress impression across rounds; numerals are sturdy and old-style in feel with clear differentiation.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes, where a firm, traditional serif voice is helpful. It can also support book covers and heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a strong, classic texture. In longer text, its steady rhythm and clear shapes make it viable for short-to-medium passages and prominent typography.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition with a slightly dramatic, engraved edge. It reads as serious and dependable, with enough sharpness in the terminals and serifs to add energy in headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-oriented serif voice with heightened presence—combining familiar book-type proportions with sharper wedge terminals to keep the page color lively and emphatic.
The caps show pronounced triangular/wedge serif accents on stems and diagonals, and the overall texture in paragraphs is dark and even, making it especially effective where strong typographic presence is desired. Forms remain conservative rather than ornamental, balancing crisp detail with straightforward readability.
