A robust, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered wedge-like serifs. Capitals are broad and steady with slightly flared terminals and a sculpted, engraved feel, while the lowercase shows compact, controlled curves and firm vertical stress. The serifs are mostly bracketed, giving joins a carved transition rather than a blunt slab, and the overall rhythm is even despite clearly varying letter widths. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with strong verticals and crisp terminals that read well at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, book and magazine titling, and other editorial contexts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also support formal branding and packaging that benefits from an engraved, traditional look, especially in larger sizes where the contrast and serif shaping can be appreciated.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with an assertive, institutional presence. Its crisp contrast and sculpted details suggest tradition and authority, leaning toward a conservative, editorial voice rather than an informal or playful one.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and a carved, display-forward character. It aims to balance traditional proportions with strong presence, creating a dependable, authoritative typographic voice for prominent text.
At larger sizes the pointed serifs and sharp internal counters become a defining texture, producing a dark, dignified color on the page. The heavy strokes and tight interior spaces in some letters make it feel most comfortable when given generous size or spacing in headlines and short passages.
