A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modeling and clearly bracketed serifs. The letterforms are compactly built with broad, weighty bowls and strong vertical stress, while joins and curves show smooth, confident transitions. Serifs tend toward wedge and beaked shapes, giving ends a crisp, slightly calligraphic bite rather than a flat slab feel. Lowercase forms read sturdy and energetic, with a single-storey ‘g’ featuring a prominent ear and a generally dark, even typographic color at text sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and book work where a dark, confident serif can carry long passages and strong hierarchy. It also fits packaging and branding that want a classic, premium voice with clear presence in display sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in print. Its strong contrast and emphatic serifs add a sense of authority and heritage, while the lively terminals keep it from feeling austere.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, sturdy interpretation of classic text serifs: high contrast for elegance, reinforced proportions for durability, and distinctive terminals to create a recognizable editorial texture across sizes.
Capitals are broad and stable with substantial horizontals and carefully shaped inside counters, supporting a dense but controlled rhythm in paragraphs. Numerals share the same weighty, high-contrast construction, appearing designed to stand out cleanly in running text and headings.
