A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modeling and crisp, pointed serifs that often read as wedge-like at the ends of stems. The forms show confident vertical stress and a compact, sturdy silhouette, with tight apertures and relatively small counters that help the letters hold a dark, even color. Serifs appear braced rather than slabbed, and many joins and interior corners resolve into sharp notches that add bite and definition. Numerals follow the same weighty, high-contrast voice, with strong presence and slightly condensed-feeling interiors.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other display applications where its sharp serif detailing and dense color can shine. It works well for editorial titling, book and magazine covers, cultural posters, and branding that wants a classic, authoritative tone. For longer passages, it is likely strongest in larger sizes or with generous spacing to keep the interior detail from crowding.
The overall tone is traditional and emphatic, projecting a confident, editorial seriousness. Its sharp terminals and dense color add a slightly dramatic, old-style gravitas, suited to assertive headlines and formal messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened impact—combining traditional proportions with sharper, more assertive terminals and strong contrast to stand out in titling contexts.
In the sample text, the heavy strokes and tight counters create strong impact and clear word shapes at display sizes, while the pointed detailing can become visually busy if set too small or too tightly. The rhythm is steady and deliberate, with distinct serif cues that keep lines feeling anchored and structured.
