A very heavy serif with pronounced stroke contrast and firmly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show tight apertures and compact interior counters, giving the face a dense, ink-rich texture. Curves are full and slightly tapered into terminals, with occasional ball-like finishes in the lowercase, while horizontals and serifs stay crisp and emphatic. Proportions feel steady and conventional, with a strong vertical axis and a consistent rhythm that holds together well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium display settings where a bold, traditional voice is desired. It can also work for packaging and signage that benefits from a classic serif look and strong contrast, especially when set with generous leading and careful tracking.
The overall tone is classic and assertive, with an old-style editorial seriousness. Its dark color and formal detailing lend it a traditional, institutional presence that feels confident and somewhat commanding.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif voice in a markedly weighty, high-impact form, balancing traditional serif detailing with a dense, attention-getting texture. The intent appears to be confident readability and authority in display typography rather than delicate long-form text.
In continuous text the heavy weight creates a strong page color, and the tighter counters mean spacing and line length will matter more than with lighter text serifs. Numerals and capitals read with a sturdy, poster-like solidity that supports emphatic headlines.
