A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Capitals are broad and steady, with a confident, slightly condensed internal spacing that keeps counters compact and darkens the overall texture. Curves are smoothly modeled and terminals stay crisp rather than calligraphic, giving the design a solid, print-oriented rhythm. Lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders, and sturdy joins that preserve clarity at larger text and display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine and newspaper-style layouts, and book-cover typography where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired. It also fits institutional branding, event posters, and pull quotes that benefit from a dense, confident typographic color.
The tone is classic and authoritative, evoking newspaper and book typography with a formal, institutional feel. Its dense color and assertive serifs read as serious and dependable rather than playful or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast serif look with a bold, commanding presence, balancing classic proportions with enough weight and structure for impactful display use in editorial contexts.
The numerals appear sturdy and traditional, with ample weight and clear differentiation, matching the font’s dark, editorial texture. Overall spacing and proportions favor a strong, headline-ready presence while still maintaining conventional text-serif manners.
