A weighty display serif with broad proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves show a slightly sheared, calligraphic stress, giving rounds (C, O, G, Q) a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than a purely geometric construction. Serifs are strong and bracketed, with several letters showing ball or teardrop terminals (notably in the lowercase), and the overall rhythm favors generous counters and sturdy verticals. Numerals are similarly high-contrast with clear, traditional forms and prominent bowls.
Best suited to headlines, deck text, and other large-size applications where its contrast and sturdy serifs can carry impact—magazine titles, opinion pages, book covers, posters, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for packaging and labels where a traditional, premium tone is desired.
The tone is commanding and traditional, with a distinctly editorial flavor. Its dramatic contrast and sturdy serifs read as established and confident, suggesting heritage print typography translated into a bold, attention-forward voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic print sensibility with modern punch: strong serifs, calligraphic stress, and generous proportions tuned for high-impact display typography.
The face maintains consistent contrast and terminal logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive texture in long lines. In text settings at large sizes, the heavy stems and deep joins create a dense, emphatic color that favors headlines over small copy.
