A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge-like serifs. The letterforms are compact and weighty, with a steady vertical axis, tight-looking apertures, and strong, rounded bowls that give the face a dense, emphatic rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel classical and stable, while the lowercase shows compact counters, a two-storey “a,” and a single-storey “g,” all drawn with firm joins and a controlled, print-oriented texture. Numerals are sturdy and fairly traditional in construction, matching the heavy color and high-contrast stroke behavior of the text.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where a dense, high-contrast serif can carry authority and impact. It can also work for book and chapter titling, magazine editorial styling, and packaging or branding that aims for a traditional, established voice.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, projecting authority and seriousness. Its strong contrast and compact forms add a slightly dramatic, editorial flavor that can feel formal and emphatic rather than casual.
Likely intended as a conventional text-serif taken to a heavier, more emphatic color, preserving classical proportions while increasing presence for editorial and titling use. The design emphasizes clear serif structure and strong stroke modulation to deliver a confident, print-like texture.
At text sizes the face reads as dark and insistent, with a tight internal spacing feel and clear serif presence that reinforces horizontals. In display settings the pronounced modulation and sculpted terminals become more noticeable, giving headings a carved, old-style gravitas without ornate flourish.
