A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and sharp, wedge-like serifs that read largely unbracketed. Stems are thick and confident while joins and terminals snap to fine points, creating a crisp, engraved rhythm despite the mass. Rounds are broad and compact with tight apertures, and several letters show small, scooped notches at joins that add an ink-trap-like crispness. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and prominent ball terminals (notably on “f”), while numerals are stout with strong horizontals and clear, traditional silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and poster typography where the dramatic contrast and weight can hold detail. It also works well for book covers, packaging, and branding that aims for a classic, editorial or heritage feel. For extended body copy, it will typically perform better at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is commanding and old-world, blending newspaper authority with a slightly theatrical, poster-like punch. Its sharp contrast and pointed serifs feel formal and declarative, evoking classic print culture and institutional gravitas rather than casual or friendly voice.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif authority with heightened contrast and sharpened detailing, creating a strong imprint on the page. Its sturdy lowercase and emphatic capitals suggest a focus on impactful display typography that still retains a traditional serif structure.
In text, the dense blacks and tight counters create a compact, forceful texture that favors display sizes and short blocks over long, small reading. Capital forms are especially assertive, with wide shoulders and strong top serifs that emphasize horizontal presence.
