A high-contrast serif with sturdy, tapered main strokes and sharply thinning hairlines that create a crisp, bright rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and assertive, with a traditional, slightly sculpted feel rather than slab-like blocks. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while the lowercase shows a tall x-height and compact counters that read dense and weighty at text sizes. Curves often finish in soft ball or teardrop terminals (notably in letters like a, c, f, j, y), adding a characteristic, slightly calligraphic snap. Numerals match the heavy color and contrast, with clear, conventional forms intended to sit comfortably with the capitals.
Well suited to editorial headlines and deck typography where strong contrast and traditional serifs add hierarchy and credibility. It can serve book covers and cultural branding that want a classic, authoritative tone with a bit of character. In longer passages it will perform best at moderate-to-large sizes where the contrast and dense counters remain crisp and readable.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a strong editorial presence. Its pronounced contrast and confident serifs give it a serious, cultivated voice, while the rounded terminals introduce a touch of warmth and individuality. The result feels classic and bookish, yet bold enough to signal headlines and statements.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened contrast and presence, bridging text tradition with display impact. The ball terminals and bracketed serifs suggest an intention to add recognizable personality without leaving familiar editorial territory.
The letterforms show a deliberate mix of sharp edges and rounded finishing details, producing a distinctive texture in paragraphs. Spacing appears generous for such a heavy style, helping maintain clarity in large, dark settings, while the tight inner counters suggest it will look most comfortable with adequate size and leading.
