A strongly slanted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. Curves are full and sturdy, while terminals taper to sharp points, giving a cut, engraved feel. The lowercase shows a traditional, oldstyle-like construction with a single-storey “a” and “g,” a generous, looping “j,” and angled cross-strokes that reinforce the italic flow. Numerals are robust and slightly varied in width, with lively diagonals and teardrop-like joins that keep the texture energetic at display sizes.
Best suited to attention-grabbing typography such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine and book titling, and bold editorial layouts. It can also work for brand marks and packaging where a classic serif voice is desired, but its strong slant and dense color make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, high-impact presence. Its dramatic contrast and assertive slant suggest formality and tradition, but the lively italic rhythm adds warmth and momentum rather than stiffness.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened drama and emphasis, pairing classic letterforms with an energetic italic construction for impactful display typography.
The heavy weight and sharp entry/exit strokes create a dense, dark color on the line, especially in all-caps settings. Spacing appears relatively open for such a heavy face, helping counters stay readable and keeping the italic texture from collapsing into a solid mass.
