A sturdy display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp terminals, and bracketed serifs that give strokes a carved, inked-in feel. Curves are round and full (notably in C/O/Q), while verticals stay firm and dominant, producing a compact, weighty texture. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are more closed than open, creating strong word shapes at larger sizes. The lowercase shows traditional two-storey forms (a, g) with a stout, upright stance; the numerals share the same dense, high-contrast construction with clear serifs and emphatic vertical stress.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its compact density and contrast can be appreciated. It can support branding and packaging that aims for heritage or premium cues, and it works well for short-to-medium display text in editorial settings where strong typographic hierarchy is needed.
The font projects a traditional, authoritative tone with an editorial seriousness. Its dense color and sharp contrast read as confident and formal, evoking established print typography and headline gravitas rather than casual or playful communication.
The design appears intended to deliver classic, print-forward authority with a bold, contrasty voice—combining traditional serif structure with a compact, impactful silhouette for attention-driven typography.
Distinctive details include a sweeping Q tail and assertive, wedge-like terminals on diagonals and curves that heighten its dramatic contrast. The overall rhythm is tight and consistent, with strong vertical emphasis and a slightly condensed, poster-ready presence.
