A tightly drawn serif with pronounced vertical stress and a distinctly engraved contrast pattern: weighty verticals and bowl interiors paired with very fine hairline joins and entry/exit strokes. Serifs are sharp and relatively unbracketed, with triangular/wedge-like terminals that read crisp at large sizes. Counters tend to be compact and apertures are fairly closed, giving the design a dense, inky texture. Proportions are expansive with broad letterforms and generous caps, while the lowercase maintains a conventional x-height with strong thick–thin modulation. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with curving figures showing delicate hairline turns against heavy main strokes.
Best used for large-scale typography where contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated—headlines, magazine and book covers, posters, and identity work. It can also serve as a bold accent face for pull quotes or section openers, pairing well with simpler text serifs or neutral sans serifs for body copy.
The overall tone is boldly editorial and theatrical—formal, attention-grabbing, and slightly ornate without becoming script-like. It conveys prestige and tradition, with a punchy, poster-ready presence that feels suited to dramatic headlines and branded statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif look with maximum impact—combining broad proportions and heavy stems with refined hairlines for a premium, attention-forward display style.
In paragraph-like settings the heavy mass and tight counters create strong rhythm and dark color, so spacing and size become important for comfortable reading. The very thin hairlines and sharp terminals are visually striking but are most convincing when given enough resolution and size to show their finesse.
