This is a robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a largely vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, with several letters showing subtle wedge-like shaping and occasional ball terminals (notably on forms like the lowercase a). The curves are full and confident, counters are moderately open, and joins are clean, giving the design a crisp rhythm at display sizes while remaining structured and conventional. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and slightly compact in their internal spaces, reinforcing a dense, emphatic texture in text.
It is well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where a strong serif voice is desired. The bold, high-contrast construction also works effectively for book covers, magazine titles, and poster copy that benefits from a classic, confident presence.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial character. Its strong contrast and decisive terminals lend it a confident, slightly dramatic presence suited to formal communication and classic typographic settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and reinforced weight for impact. It aims to deliver a traditional reading voice while providing enough stroke drama and terminal detail to stand out in display and editorial contexts.
Across the alphabet, the design maintains consistent modulation and serif treatment, creating a steady line of text with noticeable dark color. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman, with a controlled, print-oriented finish and a pronounced headline weight impression.
