A robust, display-forward serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a compact, sculpted rhythm. Strokes show clear vertical stress and tight joins, with bracketed, wedge-like terminals that read as crisp rather than delicate. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and curves are smooth and controlled, giving rounded letters a solid, engraved feel. Capitals are broad and steady, while the lowercase shows traditional serif proportions with a two-storey a and g, and a sturdy, slightly condensed texture in running lines.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and other prominent typographic moments where a classic, authoritative serif is desired. It can also work well for branding and packaging that benefit from a traditional, premium tone, and for editorial settings where strong contrast and a dense typographic color are appropriate.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a strong editorial voice. Its high-contrast shaping and firm serifs evoke bookish authority and a classic, slightly formal character suited to serious messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with modern heft—high contrast and strong terminals that hold up at display sizes while preserving a traditional reading texture.
In text, the dense color and assertive terminals create a strong typographic presence, especially in all-caps or short phrases. Numerals are hefty and highly legible, with clear differentiation and a classic, print-like stance.
