A robust serif with sharply cut, bracketed serifs and a distinctly angular, chiseled stroke treatment. Vertical stems are heavy and steady, while curves show faceted transitions that create a carved, slightly irregular rhythm across rounds like C, G, O, and S. The face has a tall, emphatic presence with compact interior counters and crisp terminals; joins and corners often feel notched or beveled, lending a sturdy, engraved look. Numerals and capitals carry the same hard-edged modeling, producing a dense, poster-ready texture.
Works well for headlines, subheads, and impactful editorial typography where a dense, authoritative serif texture is desirable. It also suits book covers, heritage-flavored branding, and signage or poster work where its carved details can remain clear at larger sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and forceful, with an old-style, editorial seriousness that reads as confident and slightly rugged. Its carved details and assertive serifs suggest heritage printing—formal enough for institutional use, but with a tactile, workmanlike edge.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice with added punch and character, combining traditional proportions with chiseled detailing for stronger presence in display and editorial settings.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and tight counters create a dark, compact color that suits short runs and larger sizes best. The faceted curvature and sharp interior cuts add personality, making the face feel more display-leaning than a quiet, neutral book serif.
