A very heavy, high‑contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and substantial vertical stems. Serifs are crisp and mostly bracketed, with pointed, wedge-like feet and lively, calligraphic joins that create a sculpted silhouette. The lowercase shows compact proportions with a moderate x-height and distinctive ball/teardrop terminals in places (notably on forms like a and f), while counters are tight and ink traps are not apparent. Numerals follow the same engraved logic, with strong thick–thin transitions and a slightly varied rhythm that gives the set an intentionally dramatic texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, magazine spreads, and brand marks where strong contrast and a dark, commanding presence are desired. It can also work for book covers and short pulls or callouts, particularly when generous tracking and leading are available.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, evoking high-end editorial typography and classic print display. Its sharp transitions and sculptural terminals feel formal and slightly theatrical, lending a sense of prestige and authority.
This design appears intended as a statement serif that translates classic, engraved contrast into a modern, punchy display voice. The goal seems to be maximum impact with refined detail—pairing bold mass with elegant hairlines and expressive terminals for editorial and branding contexts.
In the sample text, the dense weight and narrow internal counters create a dark typographic color, especially in longer lines. The design relies on crisp rendering of fine hairlines and delicate terminals, which become a defining feature at display sizes.
