A very heavy, high-contrast serif with upright, vertically stressed forms and crisp, hairline serifs. Thick stems and bowls dominate the silhouette while thin cross-strokes and finishing strokes snap to fine points, creating a strong light–dark rhythm. Counters are generally compact and the spacing reads tight and assertive in text. Details like ball/teardrop terminals (notably in the figures and some lowercase) and sharply cut joins add a sculpted, display-oriented finish.
Best suited to large sizes where the contrast and hairline details can be appreciated—headlines, magazine mastheads, theatrical posters, and bold cover typography. It can also work for premium packaging or branding that benefits from a classic, formal voice, while extended small-text use will appear visually dense.
The font conveys a bold, commanding classicism with an editorial, headline-forward tone. Its strong contrast and crisp finishing strokes feel theatrical and premium, leaning toward traditional print sophistication rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended as an attention-grabbing display serif that amplifies classic, Didone-like contrast with extra mass and compact counters for maximum impact. It prioritizes dramatic typographic presence and a refined finish over understated neutrality.
In running text, the weight and contrast create dense, high-impact blocks that emphasize word shapes and punctuation. Figures show prominent contrast and expressive terminals, reinforcing a vintage, showy headline character.
