A robust, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms are broad and generously proportioned, with round bowls and a steady vertical stress that gives the face a confident, planted stance. Terminals often finish in subtle ball or teardrop shapes (notably in lowercase), and several joins flare slightly into the stems, reinforcing a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Numerals appear oldstyle in proportion, with varied heights and distinctive curves that match the text rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial roles where strong typographic presence is desired. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefit from a classic serif voice, and works well on book and magazine covers where its bold color and high-contrast details can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, combining a bookish, established presence with a slightly theatrical edge from the strong contrast and expressive terminals. It reads as authoritative and heritage-leaning, suited to contexts that want weight and gravitas without becoming ornamental.
The design intent appears to be a conventional serif optimized for impact: a familiar, classical structure reinforced with high contrast, wide proportions, and expressive terminals to produce a confident, premium reading voice in display and editorial settings.
In text, the heavy color and wide set create a dense, emphatic texture; counters remain open enough to keep shapes recognizable, but the contrast and detailing make it more of a display-text hybrid than a delicate body face. Curves and diagonals feel carefully modeled, with a consistent rhythm between uppercase solidity and more characterful lowercase terminals.
