A crisp serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and pronounced stroke contrast that produces a distinctly sculpted rhythm. Serifs are relatively small but pointed and well defined, with subtle bracketing that keeps joins clean rather than blocky. Round letters show a strong vertical stress and tight aperture behavior, while the overall color stays firm and dark due to the robust thick strokes. Numerals and capitals feel stately and compact, and the italic is not shown; all samples appear upright.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style typography, book and chapter titles, and other editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It also fits formal branding, invitations, and posters that benefit from sharp contrast and a traditional tone, particularly at medium-to-large sizes.
The font communicates a traditional, editorial seriousness with a slightly dramatic edge from its sharp serifs and high contrast. It feels formal and literary rather than casual, projecting confidence and a sense of established craft.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, old-style editorial feel with heightened contrast and sharper-than-average serif detailing for impact. Its proportions and stress suggest an aim for a refined, authoritative texture that remains familiar while adding a touch of drama in headlines.
In text, the face reads with a lively, slightly “sparkly” texture typical of high-contrast serifs: thick strokes anchor the line while hairlines and pointed terminals add snap. The lowercase includes a double-storey "g" and a compact, conventional "a", reinforcing a classic text-serif voice, while the overall spacing appears suited to display and larger text where the fine strokes can stay clear.
