A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a compact, vertically oriented build. The serifs are bracketed and crisp, with clear wedge-like terminals that give the forms a carved, slightly oldstyle flavor rather than a geometric construction. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dense, creating strong rhythm and emphasis in continuous text while maintaining clear letter differentiation.
Well suited for headlines, deck copy, and editorial settings where a dense, high-impact serif can anchor the page. It can also work effectively on book covers, posters, and identity systems that want a traditional, authoritative feel and strong contrast at display sizes.
The font conveys a confident, traditional tone with a touch of drama from its dark weight and sharp serif articulation. It feels editorial and authoritative, suited to content that benefits from a classic, established voice rather than a casual or contemporary one.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened impact—combining classic bracketed serifs and oldstyle-like detailing with a bold, compact presence for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase shapes read stately and structured, while lowercase includes distinctive, slightly calligraphic details (notably in the curved entries and terminals) that add warmth and character. Numerals appear sturdy and emphatic, matching the heavy text color and contributing to a strong typographic presence.
