A robust, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed wedge-like serifs. The letterforms are upright and fairly broad, with generous counters and clear, open apertures that keep the texture legible at display and text sizes. Curves are smoothly modeled and the joins are firm, giving round letters a carved, sculptural feel. Numerals are substantial and traditional in tone, with clear differentiation and a steady vertical rhythm across the set.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and sturdy serifs can create authority and impact. It also works well for editorial layouts and magazine typography, especially when you want a traditional, premium feel with strong presence.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, balancing refinement with weighty presence. It reads as formal and trustworthy, with a classic book-and-magazine sensibility that can also feel institutional when set large and tight.
Likely designed to provide a commanding, classic voice for contemporary typography—combining traditional serif structure with amplified weight and contrast for modern editorial emphasis.
The heavy strokes and bright interior spaces produce a strong black-and-white pattern, making headings punchy while maintaining clarity in paragraphs. The serif treatment and contrast give it a slightly dramatic, engraved flavor without becoming ornamental.
