A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and firmly bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show compact, confident proportions with a sturdy vertical emphasis and slightly tapered strokes that sharpen into pointed joins and terminals. Counters are moderately tight and the overall color is dark and even, giving strong presence at display sizes while retaining a conventional text rhythm. Details like ball-like terminals and hooked/curved finishing strokes add a subtle calligraphic inflection without breaking the upright, structured construction.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a strong classic serif voice is desired. It can anchor book covers, magazine titles, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a traditional, confident presence, and it works effectively in poster-style settings where dense typographic color is an advantage.
The font conveys a traditional, authoritative tone with an editorial seriousness. Its weight and crisp contrast feel emphatic and formal, evoking bookish, institutional, or legacy-brand contexts rather than casual or playful ones.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-impact serif with classic detailing—built to project authority and readability while adding character through sculpted serifs and expressive terminals.
The sample text shows high impact in larger settings, with distinctive capitals and clear differentiation in figures. Curved letters and diagonals maintain a consistent stress and serif treatment, producing a cohesive, classic texture across mixed case and numerals.
