A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are sturdy and vertical while joins and diagonals narrow quickly, creating a sculpted, engraved feel. Terminals frequently end in beak-like cuts and occasional ball forms (notably in lowercases), and the italic-like influence shows in the energetic curvature of letters such as a, g, e, and y despite an overall upright stance. Counters are relatively compact and the rhythm is dense, with a lively mix of sharp entry strokes and rounded bowls.
Works best in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where contrast and serif detailing can be appreciated. It also suits editorial and cultural branding applications that benefit from a traditional yet striking voice, and can serve as a strong secondary display face alongside a calmer text companion.
The tone is formal and emphatic, pairing traditional bookish manners with a punchy, theatrical contrast. It reads as confident and authoritative, with a slightly vintage, editorial flavor that feels suited to headlines and display lines where drama is welcome.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif structure with heightened contrast and distinctive terminals, creating a memorable, print-forward presence. Its letterforms balance conventional proportions with expressive details to project authority and elegance at larger sizes.
The lowercase features distinctive, expressive forms—particularly the single-storey a and g and the sweeping descender of y—which add personality without leaving conventional serif territory. Numerals appear sturdy and display-oriented, with strong contrast and clear silhouettes that match the text’s assertive weight.
