A conventional serif with pronounced stroke modulation and generous, slightly condensed-to-normal proportions in the lowercase paired with wide, emphatic capitals. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into sharp wedge-like terminals, giving strong horizontal anchoring without becoming slabby. Curves (C, G, O, S, a, e) show deep thick–thin transitions and teardrop/ball-like terminals, while joins and inner counters are tight and crisp, producing a dark, sculpted texture. Numerals appear oldstyle and similarly high-contrast, with prominent serifs and lively curves.
Performs best in headlines, subheads, and other prominent typography where high contrast and crisp serifs can be appreciated. It also suits editorial identities, classic book-cover titling, and brand marks that want a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is stately and traditional, with a confident, newspaper-like seriousness. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details add a slightly theatrical, attention-commanding presence suited to formal messaging.
Likely designed to evoke classic text-serifs used in publishing, combining traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with heightened contrast for stronger impact. The result prioritizes a bold, legible silhouette and a distinctly editorial rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
The design leans on sturdy verticals and strong crossbars, but preserves calligraphic movement in the bowls and terminals. Spacing in the sample text reads compact and dense, creating a weighty color that favors display sizes and short blocks of copy over airy, minimalist settings.
