A strongly sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and broad, open proportions. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with noticeable bracketing, creating a crisp, engraved impression while maintaining smooth curves in bowls and shoulders. The lowercase shows sturdy, rounded forms with ball-like terminals on letters such as a and f, and a compact, sturdy feel in n, m, and h. Numerals are weighty and classic, with curving strokes and clear counters that match the letterforms’ dramatic contrast.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, and other editorial display settings where its strong contrast and wide stance can create a commanding presence. It can also work for short subheads, pull quotes, and book-cover typography where a classic serif voice with extra drama is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining a traditional bookish voice with a more theatrical, display-ready presence. It reads as confident and established, with a slightly vintage, print-forward character that feels suited to high-impact typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and width for emphasis, balancing classic reading cues with a bold, attention-grabbing silhouette for modern editorial and promotional applications.
The rhythm is built from wide letterforms and prominent interior whitespace, helping counters stay open despite the heavy dark color. Several joins and apertures show small notches and tapered transitions that add bite and clarity at larger sizes, reinforcing a crafted, editorial texture.
