A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The forms show a slightly calligraphic construction: joins narrow sharply into hairlines, curves swell into heavy stems, and terminals often finish in teardrop/ball-like shapes on lowercase. Proportions are moderately condensed in places with a strong vertical emphasis, while capitals remain broad and stable; counters are tight but clean, giving the face a dark, even color at text and display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also work for short-to-medium reading passages in print-oriented layouts, especially when paired with generous leading and comfortable tracking to balance the dense color.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and seriousness. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast rhythm give it a slightly dramatic, old-style bookish character that feels formal rather than casual.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional serif structure with heightened contrast and confident weight for impactful publishing use. The combination of sharp wedge serifs and controlled curves suggests an aim for classical credibility with enough distinctive terminals to stand out in display settings.
The numerals and capitals read clearly with strong silhouette definition, and the lowercase shows distinctive, lively details (notably in g, a, and s) that add personality without becoming ornamental. The bold stroke weight and high contrast create a strong presence, especially in headlines and short blocks of copy.
