A condensed-to-normal, display-oriented serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. The strokes show a strong thick–thin rhythm: heavy verticals paired with fine horizontals and delicate entry/exit strokes, creating bright highlights and sharp internal shapes. Serifs are small and clean with little visible bracketing, and terminals tend toward flattened, clipped finishes rather than calligraphic flares. Capitals read sturdy and stately, while the lowercase keeps a traditional, bookish skeleton with compact bowls and clear apertures; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with sturdy stems and fine cross-strokes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial typography where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also work well for book covers, magazine titles, pull quotes, and poster typography that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a dramatic, high-sheen contrast that feels refined and assertive. It carries a traditional publishing sensibility—serious, established, and slightly theatrical—suited to messages that want gravitas and polish.
Likely drawn to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast for impact—combining established book-type proportions with display-level drama and crisp finishing. The design emphasizes authority and refinement, aiming for strong presence in large sizes while retaining familiar, readable letterforms.
In text settings the strong contrast and fine details create a lively sparkle, especially in tight lines and around thin crossbars. The wide, emphatic capitals and sturdy weight make headlines feel confident, while the hairlines suggest using adequate size and resolution when fine detail is important.
