A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show crisp terminals and slightly sculpted joins, with rounded bowls that tighten into sharper transitions at the stems. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and slightly wide, while lowercase forms keep a traditional rhythm with clear counters and a steady baseline. Numerals are weighty and assertive, matching the heavy vertical stress and the overall dark typographic color.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired—editorial headlines, book and magazine covers, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks. Its dense color and contrast help it hold up at larger sizes and in high-impact compositions.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition without feeling delicate. Its strong contrast and substantial stems create a confident, headline-ready presence with a literary, bookish sensibility.
Likely drawn to provide a conventional serif foundation with extra visual authority, combining classic proportions with stronger contrast and sturdier stems for emphatic reading and clear hierarchy in editorial and branding contexts.
The design emphasizes verticality and punchy silhouettes: diagonals and curves resolve into firm, serifed endings, producing a distinctive, slightly carved look. In text, the heavy weight and contrast yield high impact, with spacing that supports compact, emphatic setting.
