A robust text serif with strongly bracketed serifs and a pronounced vertical stress. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with weighty verticals and finer joins and hairlines, creating a crisp, carved feel. Counters are compact and the overall color is dark and steady, aided by substantial serifs and fairly tight apertures in letters like C, e, and s. The shapes lean traditional, with a sturdy two-storey a, a two-storey g with a compact ear, and a balanced, fairly upright rhythm; figures appear lining with similarly strong contrast and firm, slab-like footing from the serifs.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads in editorial layouts, where its strong serif presence and contrast can carry a page with authority. It also fits book covers, magazine titles, and promotional print where a classic text-serif voice is desired, and can work for short passages when generous size and spacing are available.
The tone is formal and authoritative, evoking classic print typography and traditional editorial settings. Its strong contrast and solid serif structure give it a confident, institutional voice that feels suited to established brands and serious content.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast serif for impactful reading and editorial voice, combining traditional proportions with a darker, more emphatic weight for strong typographic presence.
At display sizes the contrast reads dramatic and refined, while the dense overall texture suggests careful handling at smaller sizes to avoid crowding in tight counters and joins. The letterforms maintain a consistent, conventional construction that prioritizes stability and clarity over eccentricity.
