A robust serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The design keeps an upright, steady stance with broad capitals, generous bowls, and clear vertical stress that reads distinctly in both uppercase and lowercase. Joins are smooth and sculpted, terminals are crisp rather than soft, and the overall color on the page is dark and confident while maintaining sharp internal counters. Figures are weighty and traditional in feel, pairing well with the strong cap rhythm.
Best suited for headlines and editorial typography where a strong serif voice is desired—magazine titles, book covers, pull quotes, and impactful section heads. It can also serve for short-form text or lead paragraphs when a darker, more emphatic texture is appropriate.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with a bookish, editorial presence that suggests tradition and credibility. Its heavy, high-contrast forms give it a formal voice suited to established institutions and serious subject matter rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text-serif structure with extra weight and contrast, emphasizing presence and clarity in display and editorial contexts while keeping traditional serif cues and a disciplined rhythm.
The wide proportions and dense stroke weight create a commanding texture in paragraphs, with capitals that feel especially prominent for headings and initials. The sharpness of serifs and terminals helps keep edges defined at display sizes while still projecting a familiar, conventional text-serif character.
