A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and strongly bracketed wedge serifs. Curves are full and slightly calligraphic, with teardrop/ball terminals showing up in letters like a, c, f, and y, and beaked or hooked joins in forms such as e and t. The capitals are broad and weighty with crisp, sculpted serifs, while the lowercase has a compact, steady rhythm and a moderate x-height. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures) with varied heights and a lively, traditional modulation that matches the letterforms.
It suits editorial display and headline work where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired, and it can also serve for short-to-medium passages in print where a dark, emphatic texture is acceptable. The oldstyle numerals make it especially fitting for book-like settings, menus, and packaging that benefit from a classic, crafted feel.
The overall tone is classic and confident, evoking book typography and institutional print. Its heavy presence and energetic terminals add a slightly theatrical, old-world flavor while remaining firmly conventional and readable.
This font appears designed to deliver a conventional text-serif structure with extra weight and contrast for impact, combining familiar proportions with expressive terminals to keep large sizes engaging while maintaining a dependable reading rhythm.
Spacing and color read even in continuous text, with dark, saturated counters and clear interior shapes that help keep the weight from feeling muddy. The design leans on distinctive terminal shapes and bracketed serifs to create character without resorting to novelty.
