A robust serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Stems are sturdy and upright, with clear vertical stress and sharply defined joins that give the contours a carved, print-like feel. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, while lowercase shows compact counters and distinct details such as ball terminals and beaked endings (notably on letters like a, f, and r). Numerals are weighty and old-style in character, with rounded forms and emphatic terminals that match the letterforms’ sculpted finish.
Well-suited to display and editorial typography where a confident, traditional serif is desired—magazine headlines, book and journal titling, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a formal, established tone. It can also serve as a strong text companion in short passages or pull quotes where a darker, more emphatic texture is acceptable.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying authority and tradition. Its heavy presence and crisp serifing suggest seriousness and confidence, with a slightly bookish, institutional flavor rather than a casual or playful voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, print-rooted serif voice with heightened weight and contrast for presence. Its bracketed serifs, vertical stress, and assertive terminals aim for legibility with gravitas, emphasizing impact and an established editorial character.
The design favors strong word-shape and impact: tight apertures and compact counters create dense, dark texture, while the high contrast adds sparkle in larger settings. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates the roman’s ability to hold up in headline-like sizes with clear internal structure.
