A robust display-oriented serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms are wide and generously proportioned, with broad bowls and a steady vertical stress that gives the letters a stable, upright stance. Curves finish in rounded ball-like terminals in places, while joins and serif transitions remain sharp, producing a polished, engraved feel. Lowercase shapes are compact but sturdy, with clear counters and a slightly compressed internal rhythm that helps the heavy weight stay readable at larger sizes.
Best used where you want strong typographic presence: magazine and newspaper-style headlines, book-cover titling, poster typography, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic serif voice. It can also serve for short pull quotes or section headers where its contrast and width can breathe.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a high-impact presence suited to formal messaging. Its strong contrast and sculpted details evoke classic print typography, lending an editorial and slightly ceremonial character.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with amplified weight and contrast for high-visibility setting. It balances classic detailing—bracketed serifs and sculpted terminals—with wide proportions to maintain clarity and impact at display sizes.
The numerals appear sturdy and headline-ready, with bold silhouettes and clear differentiation between similar forms. In text samples, the weight and contrast create a strong word-shape, emphasizing capital initials and punctuation with a distinctly commanding texture.
