This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapering hairlines and sturdy vertical stems, producing a strongly sculpted rhythm. Serifs are bracketing into the stems rather than slab-like, and many terminals finish in pointed or subtly flared wedges. The letterforms are broad with generous internal counters, while curves (C, G, S, O) carry a calligraphic sweep that emphasizes contrast. Lowercase details include a two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a high-contrast t with a small crossbar; punctuation-style dots (i, j) appear round and weighty relative to the hairlines. Numerals are robust and old-style in feel, with noticeable contrast and sharp finishing strokes.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, magazine features, book covers, and display pull quotes where the dramatic contrast and wide proportions can fully register. It can work for short passages in high-quality print or on-screen settings where hairlines remain crisp, especially for formal or literary content.
The overall tone is editorial and traditional, with a confident, high-drama presence suited to formal messaging. Its crisp hairlines and emphatic serifs create a sense of prestige and seriousness, while the wide stance adds a bold, declarative voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, bookish serif voice with heightened contrast for impact. Its wide construction and sharp, bracketed detailing suggest a focus on expressive display use while retaining familiar, conventional serif structures for readable, editorial typography.
In text, the weight distribution creates strong vertical emphasis, and the wide proportions give headlines a commanding, poster-like footprint. At smaller sizes, the finest strokes may appear delicate compared with the heavy main stems, so the design reads most comfortably when given sufficient size and reproduction quality.
