This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, sharply defined serifs and tapered terminals that give strokes a carved, ink-trap-free look. The capitals are broad and stately with flat, confident horizontals and strong vertical stress; curves close tightly, producing dense counters in letters like B, P, and R. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a relatively low-to-moderate x-height and weighty bowls; the ear and terminals on letters such as a, c, and s are distinctly pointed. Overall spacing and proportions create a solid, dark typographic color, while the numerals share the same high-contrast, display-leaning construction.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial typography where its strong contrast and sharp detailing can stay clear. It also fits book covers, poster-style layouts, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic serif tone with extra weight and presence.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial voice with a strong sense of gravitas. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast rhythm read as refined and deliberate, lending a slightly dramatic, “headline” confidence even in longer phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened contrast and sharpened terminals for impact. It prioritizes strong verticals, decisive serifs, and a compact, weighty lowercase to produce a commanding, print-forward texture.
Distinctive details include angular, beak-like terminals (notably on C, G, S, and lowercase a) and a clearly bracketed serif treatment that keeps joins crisp rather than soft. The overall texture is punchy and emphatic, with tight internal spaces that favor larger sizes and confident typographic hierarchy.
