A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strong vertical stems. Serifs are bracketed with wedge-like, slightly flared terminals that give the outlines a carved, print-oriented feel. The lowercase shows compact, rounded counters and a steady rhythm, with ball/teardrop terminals visible on forms like the two-storey “a” and parts of “y,” while ascenders and capitals remain sturdy and commanding. Numerals are heavy and clear, matching the overall dense color and maintaining crisp, chiseled joins at stroke transitions.
Best suited to headings and short-to-medium text where a strong serif presence is desirable, such as magazine titles, editorial layouts, book covers, and promotional print. The dense color and crisp contrast help it hold up well at larger sizes, while the conventional structure supports readable text blocks when set with comfortable leading.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and seriousness with a hint of vintage print character. Its weight and contrast create a confident, headline-ready voice that feels at home in traditional publishing contexts.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional text-serif structure with extra punch and presence, combining familiar proportions with emphatic contrast and sculpted terminals to produce a strong, publishable voice for titles and editorial typography.
Spacing and proportions emphasize a strong, dark typographic color, with capitals reading particularly solid and monumental. The mix of sharp wedges and rounded terminals adds personality without drifting into display novelty, keeping the overall impression conventional but distinctive.
