A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, giving the outlines a carved, print-classical feel, while verticals read strong and steady. Counters are generally compact and the joins are smooth, with neatly shaped curves in rounds like O and C and clear, angular finishing in letters such as K, V, W, and X. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, and the overall rhythm feels robust and display-leaning, with sturdy stems and refined hairlines that stay sharp at larger sizes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book cover titling, and brand marks that need a classic, premium voice. It also works effectively for posters and other display contexts where sharp contrast and strong silhouettes are an advantage.
The font conveys a confident, traditional tone with a polished editorial presence. Its dramatic contrast and sculpted details feel formal and established, suggesting heritage and authority rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and assertive weight for impactful display typography. Its bracketed wedges and crisp terminals aim to balance tradition with drama, producing a refined, headline-ready reading texture.
Numerals follow the same engraved, high-contrast logic as the letters, with distinctive curved forms and crisp terminals that help them stand out in headlines. In longer sample lines, the strong contrast and weight create a dense, attention-grabbing texture that favors prominent settings over delicate, small-size use.
