A robust serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and sculpted stroke transitions. Forms are broad and steady, with pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives counters and joins a carved, engraved feel rather than a purely geometric one. Uppercase letters are compact and weighty with sharp terminals, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies (notably a two-storey a and g, and a left-leaning, tapered t) that add rhythm and texture. Numerals are equally bold and traditional, with rounded bowls and crisp, triangular finishing strokes.
Best suited to display typography where its dense weight and sculpted contrast can read clearly—headlines, magazine features, posters, and book-cover titles. It can also support branding or packaging that wants a traditional, print-forward voice, especially when set with generous spacing and strong hierarchy.
The overall tone is formal and commanding, with a classic print sensibility. Its high-impact dark color and chiseled detailing convey tradition, seriousness, and a slightly dramatic, heritage atmosphere.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with elevated impact: traditional letterforms reinforced by dramatic weight and crisp, wedge-like finishing. It aims to feel established and authoritative while adding visual bite through contrast and carved detailing.
The face maintains a consistent, dense typographic color with tight-looking internal spaces, making it feel confident in larger sizes. Diagonals and curved joins are handled with crisp, decisive cuts, and the wedge terminals give many glyphs a subtle directional energy.
