A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge-like serifs that taper to sharp terminals. Stems are substantial and vertical, while curves are smoothly modeled with crisp joins, giving counters a slightly tightened, punchy look. The lowercase shows compact, traditional forms with a modest x-height, short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders, and clear rhythmic contrast between round and straight letters. Numerals and capitals are broad and weighty, with consistent serif treatment and a steady, print-like texture in text settings.
Well suited to headlines and editorial display where its contrast and sharp serifs can read with impact. It can also work for book or magazine text when a darker, more assertive page color is desired. The traditional, formal character makes it a good fit for branding and packaging that aims for heritage cues.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, projecting authority and seriousness. Its strong contrast and sculpted serifs add a slightly dramatic, old-style gravitas that reads as traditional and bookish rather than casual.
Likely designed as a conventional serif meant to deliver a familiar print tradition while adding extra weight and contrast for presence. The consistent serif logic and disciplined proportions suggest an emphasis on robust readability paired with a confident, editorial voice.
In continuous text the heavy color builds quickly, producing a dark, confident paragraph tone. The pointed, triangular serif shapes and crisp terminals contribute to a distinctive, slightly engraved feel, especially at larger sizes.
