A robust serif with heavy, compact letterforms and clearly defined bracketed serifs. Strokes stay generally even but show subtle swelling into terminals, creating a faintly flared, carved look at joins and ends. Counters are relatively small and the overall color on the page is dark and steady, with crisp verticals and rounded bowls that feel tightly controlled. Details like the angled leg on R, the strong diagonal in Q’s tail, and the triangular/diamond i and j dots add sharp, decorative punctuation without becoming ornate.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where a firm, traditional serif voice is desired. It can support editorial layouts, book-cover titling, posters, and branded materials that benefit from a dark, confident typographic presence.
The font conveys a traditional, authoritative tone with a slightly old-style, print-era warmth. Its dark massing and crisp serifed edges feel confident and editorial, while the pointed details lend a hint of vintage character that reads as deliberate rather than playful.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, classic serif presence with subtly flared terminals for added bite and legibility at larger sizes. Its consistent rhythm and compact proportions suggest a focus on strong typographic color and dependable, traditional readability in display and editorial contexts.
Numerals are sturdy and prominent, with curvy, heavy shapes (notably the 2, 3, 5, and 6) that match the strong texture of the caps. The lowercase appears compact and dense, emphasizing a solid paragraph color and a classic text rhythm, especially at display sizes where the terminal shaping becomes more apparent.
