A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a broad stance. Serifs are bracketed with sharp, wedge-like terminals that give the forms a crisp, carved finish. Round letters show generous bowls and clear thick–thin modulation, while joins stay tight and compact, producing a dense, confident texture in text. Lowercase features a two-storey “a” and “g”, a relatively short, solid-shouldered “r”, and a “t” with a firm crossbar; numerals are equally weighty with high-contrast curves and strong baseline presence.
Well suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display roles where a strong classic serif voice is needed. It can support editorial and book-cover typography, and works for branding that wants a traditional, established feel with high-contrast sharpness.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and trustworthy. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a touch of drama, making it feel suited to institutional or heritage-leaning messaging rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional serif structure with heightened contrast and emphatic terminals, creating a familiar text-serif foundation that scales into bold, attention-getting display typography.
In the sample paragraph, the heavy serifs and tight internal spaces create a compact rhythm that holds together well at display sizes, while the contrast and sharp terminals add visual sparkle. The letterforms feel intentionally assertive, prioritizing presence and impact over a light, airy color.
