A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sculpted rather than slab-like, with sharp beaks and wedge-like tips showing up on letters such as C, G, S, and the diagonals in V/W/X/Y. Counters are relatively tight and the joins are smooth, giving the bold weight a compact, ink-trap-free solidity. The lowercase shows a traditional, two-storey a and g, a fairly vertical stress, and lively details like a hooky f and a curved, descending y.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and magazine-style editorial settings where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that aims for a classic, premium voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where its sharp terminals and sculpted serifs stay clear.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, formal presence. Its strong contrast and sharpened terminals add a slightly theatrical, headline-driven energy, while the traditional serif construction keeps it grounded and literary.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif for impactful display typography, combining traditional proportions with heightened contrast and sharpened finishing strokes to create a bold, authoritative reading of classic serif forms.
Capitals read monumental and stable, with a slightly calligraphic edge to the curves and diagonal strokes. Numerals appear display-oriented with dramatic contrast and distinctive shapes (notably the 2, 3, and 9), reinforcing the font’s attention-grabbing rhythm in larger sizes.
