A robust text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that end in sharp, tapered wedges. Curves are strongly sculpted, with visible ink-trap-like notches and teardrop/ball terminals in several lowercase forms, giving counters a carved, dynamic look. The capitals feel compact and weighty with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase maintains steady rhythm and a conventional, readable structure; numerals are sturdy and proportionate, matching the overall dense color on the page.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and display sizes where the sharp serifs and dramatic contrast can be appreciated. It also fits editorial settings such as magazine features, book covers, and pull quotes, and can support traditional branding where a strong, classic serif voice is desired.
The font conveys a classic, editorial seriousness with a slightly dramatic edge from its high-contrast strokes and emphatic terminals. It reads as confident and traditional, suited to content that wants to feel established, authoritative, and bookish rather than casual or minimal.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading model with amplified contrast and emphatic, sharply finished serifs for impact. Its mix of crisp wedge terminals and rounded details suggests an aim to balance classic text credibility with strong display presence.
Spacing and silhouettes create a dark, punchy texture, especially in all-caps and at larger sizes. The pointed serifs and deep joins add crispness, while the rounded terminals in the lowercase soften the tone just enough to keep long passages from feeling overly rigid.
