A robust serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are bracketed and assertive, giving stems a carved, sculptural feel, while bowls and counters remain relatively compact, supporting a dense, stable texture. Capitals read as monumental and evenly balanced, and the lowercase maintains clear, traditional forms with a moderate x-height and sturdy joins. Numerals share the same weight and contrast, with strong vertical stress and decisive finishing strokes that keep figures prominent in text and display settings.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also work for book covers and magazine branding, and for short-form text where a darker, more declarative typographic color is acceptable.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, leaning toward institutional and editorial seriousness. Its sharp terminals and substantial weight convey authority and gravitas, while the controlled contrast adds a refined, bookish polish rather than a purely mechanical feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with added impact—combining traditional proportions and familiar letterforms with stronger weight and sharper finishing to hold up in prominent editorial and display roles.
In continuous text the font produces a dark, emphatic color, with clear word shapes and strong vertical rhythm. The heavier top serifs and crisp diagonal cuts can add a slightly dramatic, headline-forward character, especially at larger sizes.
