A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clearly bracketed serifs that give strokes a carved, confident finish. The capitals are broad and emphatic, with firm verticals and rounded bowls that stay tightly controlled at joins and terminals. Lowercase forms are compact and evenly paced, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” small, round i-dots, and a robust, slightly condensed interior rhythm that keeps counters from opening too wide. Numerals follow the same solid, high-contrast logic, reading strongly and consistently alongside the letters.
It performs best in headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial display roles where its contrast and sturdy serifs can create emphasis. It can also suit book covers and formal promotional materials that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking editorial and institutional typography. Its weight and contrast add drama and gravity, making text feel confident, formal, and slightly old-world without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with added impact: classic proportions and familiar letterforms, reinforced by strong contrast and broad capitals for confident emphasis in editorial contexts.
In the sample text, the font maintains a strong horizontal color and clear word shapes, with serifs providing a steady baseline and cap-line presence. The bolder hairlines and tight apertures lend a punchy, headline-ready texture while still remaining controlled enough for structured text settings.
