A high-contrast serif with sturdy vertical stems and clearly articulated bracketed serifs that often resolve into wedge-like, triangular ends. Curves are full and smooth with pronounced thick–thin modulation, and joins deepen noticeably in letters like N, M, and K, reinforcing a robust, engraved feel. The uppercase shows strong, classical proportions with generous curves and firm horizontals, while the lowercase is compact and weighty, with relatively tight apertures in forms such as e and c. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, mixing straight-backed shapes with rounded bowls and crisp finishing terminals for a cohesive text-and-display rhythm.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book work where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can carry short-display settings like posters and title treatments thanks to its crisp serifs and energetic thick–thin contrast, while also maintaining enough structure for longer reading when set with comfortable spacing. It also fits branding applications that aim for heritage, authority, or a literary tone.
The overall tone is formal and confident, with a traditional editorial voice that suggests print authority and established institutions. Its sharp serifs and emphatic contrast add a hint of drama, giving headlines a decisive, historic flavor without feeling ornamental. The texture in paragraph setting reads dense and commanding, projecting seriousness and credibility.
The design appears aimed at a conventional, print-rooted serif style with heightened contrast and firm serifs to deliver authority and strong hierarchy. Its shapes prioritize a classic reading texture and recognizable letterforms, while the bold presence and sharp finishing details help it perform in prominent editorial roles.
In text, the strong contrast and compact internal spaces create a dark typographic color and a steady vertical cadence. Wide, rounded capitals (notably C, G, and O) balance the heavier, more compact lowercase, producing a classic headline-to-body relationship. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent upright style across mixed-case and numerals.
