A sturdy text serif with pronounced stroke contrast, a mostly vertical axis, and strongly bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms are compact and weighty, with firm vertical stems and tighter interior counters that keep the color dark and even. Terminals often finish in rounded or teardrop-like forms, and curves transition sharply into stems, giving the design a crisp, engraved-like snap without becoming ornamental. Numerals follow the same robust, high-contrast pattern, with the 2 and 3 showing prominent ball terminals and the 8 forming two balanced, tightly pinched bowls.
This font is well suited to editorial settings where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired, including magazines, reports, and book typography. Its heavy color and crisp contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications where legibility and authority are priorities.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking traditional book typography and institutional print. Its dark, confident presence feels formal and editorial, suited to content that benefits from gravitas rather than casualness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented serif with elevated contrast and confident weight, emphasizing classic readability while delivering a bold, formal voice for display and editorial emphasis.
The spacing and proportions read as conservative, with moderate apertures and compact bowls that reinforce a dense text color. The italic is not shown; all samples presented appear roman and consistently upright.
