A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are clearly bracketed and often flare into pointed, triangular forms, giving stems a sculpted, chiseled silhouette. Counters are relatively compact and the joins feel taut, creating a dense, ink-trap-free texture that reads solid at display sizes. Uppercase proportions are broad and steady, while lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a two-storey “a” and “g” and strong vertical stress.
Best suited to headlines, editorial typography, book-cover titling, and mastheads where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also work well on posters and premium packaging, especially when you want a classic, high-impact look with clear typographic authority.
The overall tone is traditional and commanding, with a distinctly editorial presence. Its crisp contrast and pointed terminals add a slightly dramatic, old-world flavor that can feel ceremonial or institutional rather than casual. The heavy color and structured rhythm project seriousness and confidence.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif idea pushed toward display strength: traditional letterforms with amplified weight and contrast, and pointed terminals that heighten personality without abandoning familiar, readable structures.
The numerals follow the same sturdy, high-contrast logic and appear designed to hold their shape in prominent settings. Round forms (C, O, Q) show clear stress and a polished curve-to-stem transition, while diagonals (V, W, X) maintain sharp vertexes that reinforce the font’s crispness.
