A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs that flare into sharp, wedge-like terminals. The forms show a slightly calligraphic modeling: curved strokes swell and taper decisively, counters are compact, and joins feel sculpted rather than mechanical. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and classical, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with relatively tall ascenders and short, tidy descenders. Numerals follow the same engraved, high-contrast logic with strong verticals and distinctive, tapered terminals.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and prominent editorial typography where strong contrast and crisp serifs can carry character at larger sizes. It can also work for short passages in print-oriented layouts, book jackets, and branding systems that want a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, projecting authority and seriousness with a hint of old-style warmth. Its bold color and sharp serifs give it an editorial, headline-ready presence while still reading as a conventional bookish serif.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened drama: classic proportions and familiar letterforms paired with stronger contrast and sharper terminal treatment to increase impact in display and editorial settings.
Round letters (C, G, O) have a firm, controlled curvature with tight apertures, and the terminals on letters like a, c, e, and f show pointed, beak-like finishing that reinforces the crisp texture. The rhythm is compact and weighty, creating strong word shapes and a dense typographic color, especially in continuous text.
