A robust serif with generous proportions, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and strongly bracketed wedge-like serifs. The overall color is dark and confident, with broad stems, rounded bowls, and crisp transitions into serifs that give the letters a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish. Lowercase forms show a compact, steady rhythm with ball terminals on key letters (notably the double-storey “g”) and a prominent, weighty numeral set that matches the capitals’ presence.
This design is well suited to headlines, deck copy, and short-to-medium passages where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can work effectively for magazine layouts, book covers, and brand applications that need a classic, authoritative presence, especially at larger sizes where the contrast and terminals are clearly rendered.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial tone—confident and establishment-minded, with a slightly dramatic, print-classic flavor. Its strong serifs and high contrast suggest seriousness and authority rather than minimalism or casualness.
The typeface appears designed to deliver a conventional, classic serif voice with added impact: strong contrast, substantial serifs, and a dark typographic color intended to read as confident and authoritative in display and editorial settings.
Capitals read as stately and stable, with wide interior counters and emphatic serifs that hold up well at display sizes. In text, the contrast and dense stroke weight create a prominent texture, making spacing and line breaks feel deliberate and headline-forward.
