A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs that read as wedge-like at larger sizes. The letterforms show a vertical, steady stance with clear stress and crisp terminals, producing strong dark shapes and confident word silhouettes. Counters are compact but not cramped, and the overall rhythm alternates between dense strokes and fine hairlines for a distinctly high-contrast texture. Numerals and capitals share the same assertive weight and formal proportions, supporting clear hierarchy in display settings.
Well suited to headlines, magazine and editorial layouts, and other applications where a strong serif voice is needed at larger sizes. It can also work for short-form text such as pull quotes, subheads, and packaging copy when you want a classic, high-contrast feel with clear hierarchy.
The tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and formality while still feeling polished and contemporary in its crisp detailing. Its contrast and sharp finishing give it a slightly dramatic, headline-ready presence rather than a purely bookish quietness.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and crisp, wedge-like detailing, balancing classic typographic cues with a bold, modernized presence for prominent display typography.
In continuous text the heavy stems and fine joins create a lively, somewhat sparkling texture; spacing appears tight enough to keep lines cohesive while allowing distinct letter separation. The design’s pointed joins and tapered feet make it especially striking when set large, where the serif shapes and contrast become part of the visual identity.
