A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms are upright with an even, print-like rhythm, and many capitals show broad, confident strokes with tapered joins. Counters are moderately tight, terminals are clean rather than calligraphically flared, and the overall texture reads dark and compact in continuous text. The numerals and lowercase follow the same high-contrast logic, producing a strong, traditional page color.
Well-suited to editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also support book and long-form typography when set with comfortable leading and sizing, and works effectively for formal posters and institutional communications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative look.
The font conveys a classic, formal tone associated with bookish and institutional typography. Its heavy, high-contrast presence feels authoritative and slightly dramatic, lending emphasis and seriousness to headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast serif voice with a darker, more emphatic color than typical text cuts. It prioritizes a classic reading rhythm and familiar proportions while adding punch for display and editorial emphasis.
In paragraph samples, the weight and contrast create a dense texture that can feel commanding at display sizes, while the sturdy serifs and conventional proportions keep it grounded in traditional text typography. The overall impression is refined rather than ornate, with clarity coming from sharp edges and consistent vertical emphasis.
