A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The design shows sturdy vertical stems, tapered joins, and sharp terminals that give contours a clean, carved feel. Uppercase forms are broad and steady with confident proportions, while the lowercase maintains a conventional text rhythm with compact counters and clear differentiation between straight and curved strokes. Figures appear lining with strong vertical stress and solid, weighty presence suited to display and emphatic text settings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a strong serif voice is desired. It should perform well in magazine layouts, book covers, and promotional print where contrast and sturdy serifs can add hierarchy and gravitas, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking bookish, editorial typography and institutional formality. Its heavy color and sharp finishing convey confidence and seriousness, with a slightly dramatic, high-contrast flavor that reads as refined rather than delicate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-impact serif for publishing contexts—pairing classic proportions with a heavier, more assertive weight and sharp finishing to deliver clear hierarchy and a polished, traditional character.
The face maintains a consistent vertical stress and a firm baseline, producing a dark, even typographic color at larger sizes. Curves are smoothly modeled but end in decisively cut terminals, which adds snap to word shapes and helps the design hold up in short headlines and pull quotes.
