A very heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and clear vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed and sturdy, with a mix of sharp beaks and rounded/teardrop terminals that show up strongly in letters like a, c, f, j, and y. Uppercase forms are wide and stately with ample interior space, while lowercase is compact and dense, creating a strong color on the page. The figures are assertive and old-style leaning in feel, with noticeable stroke modulation and distinctive curves on 2, 3, and 9.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where its strong contrast and confident serifs can be appreciated. It also fits editorial applications such as magazine titles, pull quotes, and book cover typography, and can work for branding where a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking traditional print typography and editorial publishing. Its weight and contrast give it a confident, emphatic voice that reads as formal and slightly old-world, suitable for statements that need presence and gravitas.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-rooted serif optimized for impactful display and editorial emphasis, combining traditional bracketed serifs with distinctive terminal shapes to remain recognizable at large sizes.
At text sizes the dense lowercase and bold weight create a dark, impactful texture, while the crisp serifs and modulated curves keep the forms from feeling blunt. The design’s rounded terminals add a subtle softness to an otherwise commanding, traditional structure.
