A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The design favors vertical stress, firm stems, and compact inner counters, giving letters a dense, weighty texture. Curves are smoothly modeled with crisp transitions into serifs, and terminals frequently resolve into small balls or tapered ends. Uppercase forms read monumental and steady, while the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with relatively compact apertures and strong joins that emphasize the font’s dark color on the page.
It performs best in headlines, deck copy, and book or editorial titling where its contrast and serif detailing can be appreciated. The strong, compact texture also makes it suitable for posters and brand expressions that want a classic, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and serious, with an editorial, old-style authority that feels established rather than trendy. Its strong contrast and compact counters create a confident, declarative voice suited to prominent typographic statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-classic serif feel with extra visual punch, combining traditional proportions with emphatic contrast and substantial serifs for strong page presence.
In text, the font produces a notably dark, high-impact color with clear hierarchy between thick stems and hairlines. The numerals and capitals share the same sculpted, formal construction, reinforcing a consistent, print-oriented presence.
