A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic, with narrow joins, tapered terminals, and rounded bowls that keep counters open despite the heavy color. Uppercase proportions are stately and compact, while the lowercase shows a relatively tall x-height and sturdy stems, giving the face strong presence in text. Numerals appear oldstyle (text) figures, integrating smoothly with lowercase rhythm.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and cover typography where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial passages, pull quotes, and section openers, especially in print-oriented layouts where its contrast and weight can be given room to breathe.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial flavor. Its weight and contrast convey seriousness and confidence, evoking classical book typography and institutional materials rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-impact serif for editorial and display use, combining traditional serif construction with a darker, more emphatic typographic color for contemporary layout needs.
Rhythm is energetic due to the strong contrast and prominent serifs, creating a lively texture at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; all samples presented read as upright roman with a slightly condensed, formal stance and consistent vertical stress.
