A heavy, high-contrast serif with broad proportions and firmly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear thick–thin relationship, with crisp verticals and tapered joins that create a slightly carved, print-like texture. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, s, and g, while round forms (O, Q, 0) stay spacious and stable. Details include ball/teardrop terminals on several lowercase forms, a two-storey a with a pronounced ear, and a compact, sturdy rhythm that reads as traditional but strongly weighted.
Best suited to display and large-text applications where its weight and contrast can deliver presence—headlines, magazine features, book covers, and posters. It can also work for short editorial passages or emphasized text (subheads, pull quotes) where a dense, traditional serif color is desirable.
The overall tone is confident and emphatic, combining classic book-serifs with a more forceful, poster-ready presence. It feels editorial and authoritative—serious enough for publishing, yet bold enough to signal impact in headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text-serif voice by pushing weight and contrast for stronger impact, while keeping familiar proportions and bracketed serif structure for readability and credibility.
The lowercase shows distinctly shaped terminals and a slightly “inked” impression at some junctions, which adds warmth to the otherwise crisp, structured forms. Numerals are strong and legible with clear differentiation between similar shapes, and the capitals present a steady, traditional stance suited to formal settings.
