A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and firmly bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes terminate in sharp, slightly flared details, and joins feel sculpted rather than purely geometric, giving the letterforms a carved, ink-on-paper character. Counters are relatively compact and the overall color is dark and steady, with a controlled rhythm that holds together well at display sizes. Numerals and capitals carry strong presence, with clear vertical stress and crisp interior shaping.
Well-suited to headlines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and other editorial display contexts where a strong, traditional voice is desired. It can also support identity and packaging work that benefits from a classic, premium feel, especially when set with generous spacing.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial gravity reminiscent of traditional publishing. Its high-contrast construction and confident serifs add a ceremonial, old-style formality that reads as established and reliable rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened drama through contrast and substantial weight, prioritizing presence and tradition for editorial and branding applications.
The lowercase shows calligraphic influence in terminals and subtle curvature, while maintaining a consistent, sturdy texture across words. The sample text suggests strong impact in larger settings, where the sharp serifs and contrast become a defining stylistic feature.
