This typeface is a heavy, high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a crisp, carved silhouette. Strokes shift quickly from thick to thin, with sharp, pointed joins and tapered terminals that give many curves a teardrop or blade-like finish. The proportions are compact and sturdy, with relatively short extenders and a consistent, upright stance. Lowercase forms show pronounced, sculpted details—such as a two-storey “g” and rounded bowls with narrow apertures—while numerals are weighty and display-like, with distinctive, chiseled counters.
Best suited to headlines, covers, and editorial titling where its contrast and carved details can provide impact. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and pull quotes that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice and a dark, confident typographic color.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a refined, old-style gravitas. Its contrast and sculpted terminals add theatrical punch, while the traditional serif construction keeps it grounded in a bookish, editorial tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver traditional serif credibility with heightened drama: a conventional structure pushed through strong contrast, sharp terminals, and prominent serifs to create a display-forward, attention-holding texture.
In text, the dense color and narrow interior spaces create strong word-shapes and a commanding rhythm, but the pronounced contrast and sharp details make it feel more at home at larger sizes where the distinctive terminals and serifs can read clearly. Uppercase letters present a stately, poster-like presence, and the punctuation and numerals carry the same weight and formality.
