A robust text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms are upright with a broad stance and strong vertical emphasis, pairing substantial stems with sharp hairlines and pointed terminals. Counters are moderately open but often tighten at joins, while curves show a slightly calligraphic stress that gives the shapes a lively, carved feel. Numerals and capitals carry confident proportions and crisp finishing, producing a dense, ink-rich color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and display sizes where its contrast and pointed serifs read as intentional detail. It also works for editorial layouts, book covers, and titling where a traditional serif voice is desired, and can be effective in short text passages when a dark, authoritative texture is acceptable.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and a bookish, institutional confidence. Its sharp serifs and energetic contrast add a hint of drama, making it feel serious and emphatic rather than casual or neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with extra emphasis and presence, combining classic proportions with assertive contrast and crisp terminals for strong typographic impact.
The design maintains a consistent rhythm across upper- and lowercase, with notable weight in key horizontals and strong serifs that help anchor lines. In paragraph settings the texture appears firm and compact, with punctuation and dots rendered as solid, prominent marks.
