A high-contrast serif with a sturdy, weighty presence and sharply cut, bracketed serifs. Strokes swing from very thick verticals to hairline connections, producing crisp joins and a distinctly chiseled rhythm. The capitals are broad and confident with flared, wedge-like terminals, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls, compact apertures, and frequent ball terminals (notably on forms like a, c, and f). Numerals match the heavy top-and-bottom emphasis and maintain strong contrast, reading as display-oriented with clear, sculptural silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines and subheads where its contrast and strong serifs can create clear hierarchy and an authoritative voice. It also fits magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts, book-cover titling, and formal posters where a classic serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and confident serifs evoke classical publishing and formal typography, while the rounded terminals add a slightly lively, theatrical edge.
The font appears intended as a conventional serif optimized for high-impact reading and classic typographic tone, pairing traditional letterforms with heightened contrast for strong display performance.
The design favors strong black shapes and crisp interior counters, giving text a punchy, poster-like color at larger sizes. Spacing appears generous enough for headings, but the extreme contrast and fine hairlines suggest it will look best when not set too small or on low-resolution reproduction.
