A heavy, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a crisp, print-like finish. Vertical stems are dominant and strongly weighted, while hairlines in joins, crossbars, and terminals drop sharply, creating a dramatic light–dark rhythm. The face is fairly extended with generous internal counters, and it uses conventional proportions in the lowercase with compact, round forms and pronounced ball terminals on letters like a, c, f, and r. Numerals and capitals carry sturdy, sculpted serifs and maintain a consistent, confident color across lines of text.
Well suited to headlines and display typography where contrast and strong serifs can be appreciated, such as magazine titles, book covers, and campaign or event posters. It can also work for brand marks and packaging that aim for a classic, premium editorial voice.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, with a strong sense of authority and tradition. Its sharp contrast and wide stance add a touch of drama that reads as upscale and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with amplified contrast and weight for impactful reading in larger settings. It balances classical details—bracketed serifs and familiar proportions—with a wider footprint and ball terminals to create a distinctive, attention-holding texture.
In the text sample the bold weight and contrast make word shapes very assertive, and the rounded terminals soften the impact slightly. The extended width and firm serifs help it hold its structure at larger sizes, where the stroke modulation becomes a key visual feature.
