A strongly contrasted serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline horizontals. Strokes shift quickly from thick stems to very thin connecting lines, creating a sharp, engraved rhythm. Serifs are fine and clean with little to no bracketing, and many joins feel tight, giving the letters compact internal spaces despite the expansive overall set width. Curves are smooth and controlled, with firm, squared-off proportions in many uppercase forms and sturdy, weighty bowls in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display applications where contrast and width can be appreciated—headlines, magazine titles, posters, book covers, and brand wordmarks. It can work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but its thin details suggest giving it ample size and spacing for best clarity.
The tone is assertive and formal, with a theatrical, high-impact presence that reads as traditional and editorial. Its dramatic contrast and wide stance convey confidence and ceremony, evoking a classic print sensibility while still feeling crisp and modern in its finishing.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-drama serif voice with strong vertical emphasis and refined hairline detailing, optimized for impactful display typography and elegant editorial presentation.
In text, the heavy verticals create strong striping, while the thin cross-strokes and serifs add a refined, razor-like sparkle. The numerals match the letterforms in weight distribution and contrast, maintaining a consistent, punchy color across mixed copy.
