A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and strongly bracketed wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show compact, sturdy proportions with rounded bowls and clearly modeled joins, giving a sculpted, ink-trap-free appearance. Uppercase shapes are broad and steady, while lowercase features short ascenders/descenders relative to the cap height and a readable, moderately open rhythm in text. Numerals are weighty and assertive, matching the overall dark color and confident texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a bold, classic serif texture is desired—magazine headings, book-cover titling, section openers, and promotional print. It can also serve for short-to-medium text blocks when a darker, more emphatic page color is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a sober, authoritative voice. Its strong contrast and confident serifs lend a bookish, institutional feel that reads as established rather than experimental.
Likely designed to deliver a familiar, conventional serif voice with extra weight and contrast for impact, balancing classic proportions with a strong, contemporary-looking typographic density.
In continuous setting the font builds a dense, even typographic color, with noticeable emphasis from the strong vertical stems and sturdy terminals. The forms lean more toward classic text-serifs than display eccentricity, but the heavier weight gives headlines and pull quotes extra presence.
