A contrasted serif with a sturdy, dark color and clear vertical stress. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation: heavy stems and rounded bowls are paired with fine connecting strokes and hairline-like details. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving terminals a sculpted, ink-trap-adjacent feel without becoming slabby. Proportions are on the broad side with generous counters and a steady, upright rhythm that reads cleanly in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the text color and contrast, with open shapes and firm baseline presence.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book work where a classic serif voice is desired. It can serve as a strong text face for comfortable reading at moderate sizes, while its contrast and dark color also make it effective for pull quotes, section heads, and brand wordmarks that need a traditional, premium impression.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, evoking book typography and classic printing with a confident, authoritative voice. Its sharp contrast and formal stance add a touch of ceremony, making it feel polished and established rather than casual or playful.
Designed to deliver a refined, classic serif presence with emphatic contrast and a solid typographic color. The intention appears to balance readability with a more formal, display-friendly finish—combining robust stems, crisp details, and traditional serif shaping for confident editorial use.
In text, the weight and contrast create strong word shapes and a pronounced typographic texture; tight hairlines and delicate joins benefit from adequate size and spacing to avoid visual sparkle. The design balances crisp detail with robust main strokes, keeping long passages readable while still feeling distinctly display-capable.
