A sturdy, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, sharply finished terminals. The capitals are broad and stable with wedge-like serifs and clear vertical stress in round letters, while lowercase forms show compact bowls, a two-storey a, and a distinctive ball terminal on the j. Numerals are lining and strongly structured, with varied widths and prominent curves that echo the text forms. Overall spacing and rhythm feel dense and deliberate, emphasizing dark, even texture in paragraphs and impactful display lines.
It performs especially well in headlines, subheads, and other prominent typographic moments where contrast and strong serifs can carry the voice. The dense color also supports editorial applications such as magazine layouts, book titles, and short blocks of text that benefit from a classic, authoritative presence.
The font conveys a classic, editorial seriousness with a confident, authoritative tone. Its strong contrast and emphatic serifs add a sense of tradition and formality, making text feel weighty and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-impact reading voice with a distinctly editorial flavor, pairing refined contrast with robust structure for strong presence at display sizes and confident clarity in short text settings.
Round letters like C, G, O, and Q show a refined stress and tapered joins that read as carefully drawn rather than geometric. The uppercase W and V are notably heavy and sculptural, and the lowercase g appears single-storey with a generous ear, adding character in running text.
