A heavy, sculpted serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and compact internal counters that read strongly at display sizes. Strokes show moderate contrast and a slightly calligraphic, wedge-like modeling, with triangular or beaked terminals appearing on several forms. The lowercase has a traditional, bookish construction with a relatively compact feel and a single-story “g,” while numerals are sturdy and high-impact with rounded bowls and emphatic serifs. Overall spacing and rhythm create a dense, confident color on the page, emphasizing solidity over delicacy.
Well-suited for headlines, magazine and newspaper-style editorial typography, and prominent titling where a traditional serif voice is needed. It also fits book covers, posters, and branding applications that benefit from a strong, established feel and a dense typographic color.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that feels rooted in traditional printing. Its bold, sculptural serifs add a slightly dramatic, headline-ready presence without becoming ornate. The overall impression is formal, established, and assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif structure with amplified weight and sharper, more graphic terminal details for impact. It aims to balance classic readability cues with a more forceful, display-oriented presence.
Distinctive details include pointed wedge terminals and small triangular notches that give the outlines a crisp, chiseled character. The heavy weight and tight counters make it especially effective where strong typographic voice is desired, while very small sizes may appear dark due to the dense texture.
