A very heavy serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a clear vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed and often beak-like, with sculpted joins that create a carved, ink-trap-free look at display sizes. Curves show teardrop/ball terminals in places (notably in the lowercase), while vertical stems remain dominant and crisp. Counters are relatively compact and the overall color is dense, producing strong rhythm and impact in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited for display typography where strong contrast and dense color are assets—magazine and newspaper headlines, book jackets, pull quotes, and impactful brand wordmarks. It can work for short text blocks at larger sizes, but its heavy weight and compact counters make it most compelling when used for emphasis rather than long passages.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition with a slightly dramatic, headline-forward presence. Its weight and contrast give it a confident, emphatic voice that feels at home in formal or heritage contexts.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text-serif silhouette at high weights, emphasizing authority, readability in headlines, and a refined, traditional texture.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and monumental, while the lowercase introduces softer, rounder terminals that add warmth without losing firmness. Numerals are similarly bold and upright, with conventional, highly legible shapes suited to prominent settings.
