A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. Stems are sturdy and vertical, while curves show noticeable thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals, creating a sculpted, ink-on-paper feel. Uppercase forms are wide and stable with generous bowls and strong horizontals, and the lowercase maintains a traditional rhythm with clear ascenders/descenders and a moderate x-height. Numerals appear text-oriented with open counters and confident weight, matching the overall firm, print-like texture.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial typography where a strong, classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for book covers, cultural posters, and branding that leans traditional, especially at display sizes where the contrast and serif shaping are most visible.
The font conveys a composed, authoritative tone with a distinctly editorial and bookish character. Its confident weight and sharp serifs feel traditional and formal, suited to content that aims to appear established and credible.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with heightened emphasis and presence. It balances traditional proportions with stronger contrast and weight to support impactful editorial hierarchy and confident, print-forward styling.
In paragraphs, the heavy color and high contrast create a commanding presence; at larger sizes it reads as polished and emphatic, while in dense settings it benefits from ample leading and comfortable measure. The serif detailing and tapering give it a slightly dramatic edge without leaving conventional text-serif territory.
