This serif has sturdy, weighty stems paired with crisp, bracketed serifs and noticeably pointed terminals. The forms feel compact and sculpted, with sharp internal angles and occasional beak-like finishing strokes that give letters a slightly faceted silhouette. Round characters are firmly contained rather than soft, and the stroke contrast reads clearly in the sample text without becoming delicate. Overall spacing is steady and text color is dense, producing a confident, print-like rhythm.
It performs best in headlines and short blocks of copy where its dense color and crisp detailing can read as intentional and refined. The sturdy letterforms also make it a good candidate for book covers, poster typography, and packaging that aims for a classic, premium impression.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with a slightly dramatic, old-style gravity created by the pointed terminals and strong serifs. It suggests seriousness and tradition more than friendliness, making it feel well-suited to established institutions or heritage-flavored branding.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text-serif voice with sharper, more assertive terminals and a strong, confident presence. It balances readability with character, aiming to provide a dependable editorial workhorse that still feels distinctive in display settings.
In the alphabet grid, several capitals show distinctive wedge-like serifs and angular joins that add personality at display sizes. The numerals are robust and emphatic, with strong shaping that matches the dense color of the letters and holds up well when set large.
