A compact, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a distinctly vertical stress. Thick stems and hairline connections create a crisp, print-like rhythm, while the overall fit is tight and the counters are relatively small, producing strong density in text. Terminals are sharp and controlled, with refined curves and clear modulation in round letters; numerals share the same contrast and sturdy posture for consistent color.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial passages where a dense, high-contrast serif can project authority and sophistication. It can also work for magazine layouts, poster titling, and book-cover typography where strong typographic color is desirable.
The font reads as classic and editorial, with a confident, authoritative tone. Its dense texture and pronounced contrast lend a formal, slightly dramatic voice suited to serious or high-end contexts rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional text-serif voice with heightened punch—combining classic bracketed serifs and vertical stress with a compact, impactful footprint for contemporary editorial hierarchy.
In running text the bold weight and tight spacing create a dark typographic color, making word shapes feel compact and emphatic. The italic is not shown; the design presented maintains a consistently upright, traditional serif character across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
