A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. Curves are generous and slightly squarish in their interior shaping, while joins and terminals resolve into crisp, wedge-like details that give the outlines a carved, sculptural feel. Capitals are broad and steady with strong horizontals, and the lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with a moderate x-height and clear counters; the overall texture reads dark and emphatic without collapsing legibility. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with distinctive angled terminals and a traditional, text-oriented rhythm.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where its high-contrast serifs and dark color can contribute character and hierarchy—headlines, subheads, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and poster typography. It can set paragraph text when size and leading are generous, but it is especially effective where a classic, forceful presence is desired.
The typeface conveys a classic, institutional tone—confident, formal, and editorial. Its sharp serifs and emphatic contrast suggest tradition and authority, with a slightly dramatic, print-centric voice suited to serious messaging rather than casual UI text.
The design appears intended to modernize conventional text serif forms with extra weight and crisp, wedge-like detailing, creating a traditional yet assertive voice for publishing and brand applications that need gravitas.
The family of shapes is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with recurring wedge terminals and strong vertical stress that produce a lively, high-contrast shimmer at larger sizes. Spacing appears comfortable in the sample text, supporting dense paragraphs while maintaining crisp word shapes.
