This typeface shows pronounced stroke contrast with vertical emphasis, combining sturdy main stems with finer connecting strokes. Forms are fairly tall and narrow-leaning in their internal proportions, with crisp terminals and small bracket-like transitions where strokes meet. The lowercase has a traditional, double-storey structure for key letters and a clear, upright rhythm, while capitals read firm and stately. Numerals are high-contrast and slightly varied in width, keeping a consistent baseline and a composed, print-oriented texture.
It performs best in editorial and display contexts such as headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, book or report titling, and brand marks that benefit from contrast and a classic tone. It can also work for short blocks of text where a more traditional, high-contrast texture is desired, especially in print-oriented layouts.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, projecting a measured, traditional voice with a slightly dramatic contrast. It feels formal and composed rather than casual, with a confident presence suited to established institutions and serious content.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, contrast-driven reading and display voice with a polished, print-like rhythm. Its proportions and modulation prioritize clarity and authority, aiming for a familiar yet elevated typographic presence.
In paragraph settings the strong thick–thin modulation creates a lively rhythm and clear word shapes, while the sharper joins and tight apertures add a crisp, precise flavor. The heavier verticals make the face feel assertive at display sizes, and the lighter hairlines introduce delicacy that becomes more noticeable in longer lines.
