A sturdy serif with pronounced contrast and a distinctly vertical, engraved-like stress. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-shaped, with crisp terminals and occasional ball terminals in the lowercase. The capitals are tall and stately with broad, smooth curves and firm verticals, while the lowercase shows compact, bookish proportions, tight apertures in letters like e and a, and confident entry/exit strokes. Overall rhythm is steady and slightly condensed in feel, with strong color on the page and clear differentiation between thick stems and hairline connections.
It performs especially well in headlines and editorial settings where a strong, classic serif voice is desired—magazine titles, book covers, feature openers, and formal announcements. The substantial weight and contrast also suit posters and pull quotes that need a traditional, premium look.
The font conveys a classic, authoritative tone associated with print tradition and editorial typography. Its sharp serifs, high contrast, and weighty presence feel formal and confident, suggesting seriousness and credibility rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice with added punch for contemporary editorial use: traditional construction and detailing paired with a heavier, higher-contrast silhouette that reads as confident and refined in larger setting.
The numeral set matches the heavy text color and uses traditional forms, including a curved 2 and a robust 8 and 9, reinforcing a conventional, print-oriented texture. The italics are not shown, and the displayed roman forms prioritize impact and legibility at larger text and display sizes.
