This typeface presents robust, high-contrast letterforms with a steady vertical axis and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation: verticals and main stems are heavy, while joins, cross-strokes, and curves taper to fine hairlines. Counters are generally open and rounded, with broad bowls in letters like O, C, and G, and neatly controlled curves that keep the rhythm even across the alphabet. Terminals are sharp and clean, with occasional rounded or ball-like details in lowercase forms, and the numerals follow the same contrast-driven, classical construction.
It performs best in display and headline sizes where the high contrast and sculpted serifs can read cleanly and add drama. It’s well-suited to editorial layouts, book covers, cultural posters, and branding that benefits from a classic, authoritative presence.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a clear editorial and institutional voice. The strong stems and refined thinning in curves convey seriousness and authority, while the open counters help it feel composed rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, print-classic look with strong contrast and sturdy proportions, pairing clarity with a distinctly editorial flavor. Its structure prioritizes impact and typographic elegance over minimalism, making it ideal for prominent, statement-driven typography.
In text, the contrast creates a lively texture and clear hierarchy, especially in caps-heavy settings. The lowercase includes distinctive oldstyle-style touches—such as a double-storey g and a compact, serifed t—that reinforce a bookish, print-oriented character.
