A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and firmly bracketed serifs. Strokes are vertical and steady, with compact proportions and relatively narrow interior counters that create a dense, dark texture. Curves are sculpted and slightly squared off in places, while joins and terminals remain crisp, giving the letterforms a confident, print-oriented rhythm. Uppercase forms read solid and monumental, and the lowercase keeps a consistent, structured cadence with clear ascenders and descenders.
Well suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where a strong serif voice is needed. It also fits book covers and editorial branding that benefit from a classic, authoritative presence, and can work for short-to-medium text where a darker typographic color is acceptable.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial, bookish feel. Its weight and contrast convey seriousness and tradition, suited to institutions, publishing, and heritage-leaning identities rather than casual or playful contexts.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional serif foundation with extra weight and punch, creating a confident, high-impact text face for editorial and display use while retaining familiar, readable proportions.
At larger sizes the strong contrast and tight counters produce striking headline presence, while in paragraphs the color is intentionally dense. Numerals appear sturdy and straightforward, matching the assertive text texture of the letters.
