A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a steady, upright posture. Serifs are bracketed and generously shaped, with a slightly calligraphic feel in the way strokes swell and taper, especially visible in the bowls and diagonals. Uppercase forms read broad and stable, while lowercase shows rounded construction with compact counters and a firm baseline rhythm. Terminals often finish with soft, bulb-like ends, and the overall color is strong and dark without looking mechanical.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine features, and book or report titling where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also serve packaging and brand wordmarks that need a traditional, premium character, while longer passages benefit most when given comfortable size and leading to manage its dark typographic color.
The tone is classic and self-assured, evoking established print traditions and institutional seriousness. Its weight and contrast give it a persuasive, headline-ready presence with an old-style warmth rather than a stark modern chill.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text-serif voice with extra weight, contrast, and sculpted details for emphasis. It prioritizes impact and authority while keeping familiar proportions and readable letterforms for real-world publishing contexts.
The figures appear sturdy and text-friendly, with clear differentiation and heavy vertical stress that supports emphasis. In the sample text, the dense color and shaped serifs create a lively texture; at smaller sizes it may feel compact due to the strong stroke weight and relatively tight interior spaces.
