A heavy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serif joins. Stems feel firmly vertical with a clear vertical stress, while terminals often finish in subtly beaked or flared shapes that add bite to the silhouettes. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, and the overall texture reads dark and steady, with sharp interior corners and occasional cut-in notches that help preserve clarity at bold sizes. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and classical; lowercase forms are compact and robust with a strong, upright rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and large text where its contrast and strong serif detailing can read cleanly and deliver impact. It also fits editorial applications such as magazine section heads, book-cover titling, and branding marks that need a classic, assertive voice.
The tone is confident and traditional, with a distinctly editorial gravitas. Its strong contrast and chiseled terminals convey seriousness and emphasis, suggesting heritage printing and headline authority rather than casual or minimalist styling.
Designed to deliver a bold, high-impact serif voice with traditional proportions and sharpened, flared terminals that keep the letterforms crisp under heavy weight. The overall construction prioritizes authority and legibility in display and editorial settings, using contrast and bracketed serifs to create a strong, classical rhythm.
The numerals and capitals carry a display-like presence, with tight apertures and assertive serifs that create a dense typographic color. In the sample text, the weight and contrast produce high impact and clear hierarchy, especially in mixed-case lines where the lowercase maintains a solid, readable cadence.
