A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are upright and broadly proportioned, with rounded bowls that read full and sturdy at display sizes. Terminals are sharp and clean, and the joins show a controlled, slightly calligraphic stress that keeps counters open despite the heavy main strokes. In text, the rhythm is weighty and even, with pronounced verticals and clear serif cues that reinforce line structure.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where a strong serif voice is desired. It can add gravitas to book covers, cultural posters, and brand marks that benefit from a classic, authoritative tone. The bold presence and sharp detailing help it stand out in print and other high-resolution applications.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone with a confident, emphatic presence. Its contrast and sturdy proportions give it a refined but forceful character—more headline-forward than delicate—suggesting tradition, authority, and a slightly theatrical sense of drama.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with heightened contrast and a confident, display-ready color. It balances conventional proportions and familiar structures with sharpened detailing to create impact without departing from established text-serif norms.
Uppercase forms feel particularly monumental, with broad curves and firm serifs that hold together in dense settings. Numerals share the same contrast and solidity, maintaining a consistent, dignified texture across mixed alphanumeric composition.
