A robust serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show a vertical stress with carefully tapered joins and pronounced, triangular terminals that add a carved, print-like finish. Capitals are wide and stable with generous internal counters, while the lowercase has a traditional, compact build and clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and arms. Numerals are weighty and slightly varied in width, matching the overall dense, confident texture.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling where a bold, classic serif presence is desired. It also fits editorial design, book and magazine covers, and branding or packaging that benefits from a formal, traditional tone and strong contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial voice. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast modeling convey seriousness and refinement, suggesting a classic, establishment feel rather than a casual or contemporary one.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif structure with added punch for display use, combining traditional proportions with sharper, more sculpted serif detailing to create a confident, print-forward voice.
At display sizes the pointed serifs and ink-trap-like notches at some joins read as deliberate detailing, giving the face a slightly dramatic edge. In paragraph-style setting the rhythm is steady and dark, producing a strong typographic color that favors impact over lightness.
