A robust serif with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are clearly bracketed and slightly flared, with crisp terminals and a compact, sturdy feel despite the generous widths. Counters are moderately open and the curves show a traditional vertical stress, while joins and shoulders stay controlled and firm. Uppercase forms read stately and weighty; lowercase keeps a conventional proportion with steady rhythm and clear differentiation across letters and numerals.
Well suited to display and headline settings where a traditional, high-impact serif is needed—such as magazine titles, editorial decks, book covers, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding. It can also work for short text blocks or pull quotes when a dark, authoritative typographic voice is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking established print traditions. Its heavy, confident color feels editorial and ceremonial, lending seriousness and gravitas to headlines and short passages alike.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened presence: classic construction and vertical stress paired with a heavier, more attention-grabbing color for contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
In the sample text, the type creates a dense, emphatic texture with strong word shapes and clear punctuation. The numerals appear sturdy and highly legible, matching the letterforms with consistent contrast and serif treatment.
