A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and compact, bracketed serifs that often taper into wedge-like terminals. The capitals are broad and steady, with generous interior counters and a strong vertical rhythm. Lowercase forms show rounded joins and occasional ball terminals, with a slightly calligraphic influence visible in the curved strokes and foot shapes. Overall spacing reads solid and even, producing dense, confident lines in text while keeping letterforms distinct.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a strong serif voice is needed, and it also works for short to medium passages in editorial layouts thanks to clear counters and consistent rhythm. It can add gravitas to book covers, cultural posters, and brand marks that benefit from a traditional, confident typographic signature.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a sense of tradition and authority. Its heavy color and refined contrast suggest a literary, old-world seriousness rather than a neutral, modern feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with extra weight and contrast for impact, balancing classic proportions with slightly stylized terminals to keep the texture lively and distinctive in display and editorial settings.
Several glyphs display subtly sculpted terminals and curved stroke endings that soften the otherwise powerful texture. The numerals and punctuation match the same sturdy, high-contrast construction, supporting cohesive text setting in heavier typographic palettes.
