A robust serif with thick main strokes and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs that create a carved, print-like texture. Curves show clear calligraphic modulation, with tight apertures and rounded joins that keep counters compact and darken the overall color. Several lowercase forms lean on ball terminals and teardrop-like endings, while verticals remain steady and upright. The shapes feel slightly condensed in their inner space despite broad overall proportions, producing a dense, confident rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, display paragraphs, and punchy editorial applications where strong contrast and a dark typographic color are desirable. It can work for short blocks of text in print-like settings, but is most effective when given generous size and spacing in titles, pull quotes, and cover or packaging typography.
The tone is commanding and traditional, evoking classic editorial typography and institutional gravity. Its weight and contrast read as formal and declarative, with a slightly old-style warmth from the rounded terminals and modulated curves.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with maximum impact—combining traditional, bracketed serif construction with bold stroke weight and crisp contrast to perform strongly in attention-driven layouts.
In the sample text, the heavy color and tight counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes where the internal shapes open up. Numerals are bold and assertive, matching the letterforms closely and maintaining a consistent, emphatic presence in headings and prominent text.
