A robust serif with pronounced contrast and crisp, angular detailing. Serifs are bracketed but often end in sharp wedge-like terminals, giving the letters a slightly chiseled, engraved feel. Curves show subtle irregularity and tension (notably in bowls and round letters), while straight strokes carry decisive, tapering cuts at the ends. Counters are moderately open and the rhythm is sturdy and compact, with strong vertical emphasis and occasional flared joins that add a hand-cut texture to the forms.
This style suits headlines, pull quotes, and editorial display where a strong typographic presence is needed. It can also work for book covers, mastheads, and brand marks that benefit from a classic, authoritative serif with sharper-than-average detailing.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a faintly historic, print-era flavor. Its sharp terminals and lively, carved-looking modulation suggest formality and seriousness more than friendliness, lending a confident, slightly dramatic voice.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional serif structure with sharper, wedge-like terminals and a subtly engraved texture, aiming for a classic-but-assertive voice that remains legible while adding character.
Lowercase forms lean toward oldstyle-like construction in places, with a double-storey "g" and a relatively prominent, dark color on the line. Numerals are sturdy and angular, matching the letterforms’ wedge cuts and producing a distinctly forceful texture in running text.
