A high-contrast serif with strong thick-to-thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are upright with a slightly condensed-to-normal rhythm, combining crisp vertical stems with hairline joins and terminals. Curves are sculpted and full, counters are relatively tight in the heavier letters, and the overall texture reads dark and emphatic at text sizes while maintaining clear serif articulation.
It is well suited to headlines, deck text, and editorial typography where a strong, classic serif presence is desirable. The dark color and sharp contrast make it effective for magazine layouts, book covers, and display settings that benefit from an authoritative, traditional voice.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial voice with a confident, slightly dramatic tone. Its pronounced contrast and crisp detailing suggest refinement and authority, leaning toward classic print aesthetics rather than casual or utilitarian styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif structure with heightened contrast for impact, combining classic proportions with crisp finishing for strong typographic presence in editorial and display contexts.
Capitals are stately and weighty with sturdy verticals, while lowercase forms show lively, calligraphic stress and distinct ear/terminal shapes (notably in a, g, and y). Numerals appear robust and legible with strong figure shapes and clear differentiation, matching the text weight and contrast of the letters.
