A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp edges, and clearly bracketed wedge serifs. The design favors vertical stress and steady, upright construction, with compact counters and sturdy joins that keep shapes dense and dark on the page. Capitals are broad-shouldered and stately; lowercase forms are relatively compact with prominent terminals and a strong baseline presence. Numerals follow the same engraved, high-contrast logic, with weight concentrated in main strokes and sharply defined serifs.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and other prominent text where its weight and contrast can deliver impact. It also fits editorial contexts such as magazine titles, book covers, and formal branding systems that benefit from a traditional serif voice, especially in medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, suggesting established print conventions and a confident, institutional voice. Its dense color and assertive serifs give it a serious, authoritative feel suited to formal communication rather than casual or playful settings.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic text-serif impression with heightened strength and contrast, emphasizing authority and legibility at attention-getting sizes. Its construction prioritizes a conventional, print-forward silhouette with refined serif detailing and a firm, declarative texture.
At display sizes the strong contrast and sharp serif forms read as refined and punchy, while in longer lines the heavy color creates a compact, emphatic texture. The rhythm is consistent across cases, with minimal slant and a measured, classical cadence.
