A high-contrast serif with sharp, triangular wedge serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Capitals are wide and stately with crisp terminals and tightly controlled curves, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and sturdy verticals that keep the texture dense in setting. Serifs are generally bracketed into stems, and the joins and transitions feel carved rather than calligraphic, creating a firm rhythm across words. Numerals are similarly weighty and traditional in construction, with clear counters and strong baseline presence.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads in editorial layouts where a strong, traditional voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for book covers, mastheads, and packaging that benefits from a classic, high-contrast serif presence, and can be used for short-form text where its dense color and sharp detailing remain comfortable.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and confident. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast add a touch of ceremony, making it feel at home in more formal or literary contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, time-tested serif feel with extra drama from pronounced contrast and pointed wedge serifs. It aims to project authority and tradition while staying visually crisp and impactful in larger sizes.
At display sizes the contrast and wedge serifs produce a striking, poster-like silhouette, while in paragraphs the dense color and pointed detailing give a distinctly traditional page texture. The design favors clarity through strong vertical emphasis and crisp, high-contrast shapes.
