A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply cut, bracketed serifs. The letterforms feel sturdy and slightly compact through the counters, with smooth, swelling curves and crisp terminals that create a strong black presence in text. Uppercase shapes are traditional and monument-like, while the lowercase shows a moderate x-height with clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and diagonals. Numerals match the overall weight and contrast, keeping a consistent, confident rhythm across mixed settings.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent pull quotes where strong contrast and a confident serif profile help establish hierarchy. It can also serve for editorial design, book or magazine titling, and brand marks that want a traditional, authoritative tone, especially when set with comfortable line spacing.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—serious, established, and slightly dramatic due to its strong contrast and assertive color on the page. It reads as traditional and authoritative rather than casual, suited to settings that benefit from a dignified, print-forward voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened presence—combining familiar proportions with more emphatic weight and contrast to hold attention in both display and editorial contexts.
At display sizes the sharp serif finishing and sculpted stroke transitions are especially apparent, giving headings a crisp, engraved quality. In paragraphs, the dense weight and relatively tight interior spaces create a bold typographic texture that feels intentional and emphatic.
