A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are generously proportioned with broad capitals, substantial stems, and rounded bowls that keep counters open despite the heavy color. Terminals tend toward wedge-like or subtly flared finishes, giving strokes a slightly calligraphic, carved feel rather than a purely mechanical one. Overall spacing and rhythm read steady and text-ready, with a strong horizontal emphasis in the serifs and a clear, confident silhouette across upper- and lowercase.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, magazine and journal titling, book covers, posters, and branding where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also work for short passages, pull quotes, and section openers when you want strong typographic color and emphasis.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial, bookish presence. Its boldness and crisp contrast convey seriousness and tradition—well suited to headlines that need gravitas without becoming ornate or decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif pushed into a heavier, high-impact register, balancing classic proportions with bolder stroke weight and crisp contrast for confident display use.
In the grid, capitals show particularly weighty verticals and firm serif structures, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and legibility (notably in the open forms and distinct ascender/descender shapes). Numerals carry the same strong contrast and sturdy footing, reading confidently at display sizes.
