A high-contrast serif with thick vertical stems and markedly thinner hairlines, producing a sharp, engraved rhythm in both text and display sizes. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with crisp terminals and occasional flaring that gives strokes a sculpted, chiseled feel. Counters are generally generous and round in letters like O and Q, while joins and diagonals in V, W, and Y are clean and pointed. Lowercase forms remain compact and sturdy, with a two-storey a and g and strong, dark bowls that hold up in dense setting.
This face works especially well for headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where high contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also suits magazine and book-cover typography that needs a traditional, premium feel, and can serve as a strong choice for short-form editorial text when set with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting confidence and formality with a slightly theatrical edge from the extreme contrast and sharp finishing. It feels suited to classic print culture—bookish and authoritative—while still attention-getting in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with elevated contrast and sharpened details, balancing readability with a more dramatic, print-forward character. It aims to provide a classic typographic palette that feels authoritative and polished in display-driven settings.
Spacing appears robust and the weight distribution creates a strong vertical emphasis, making lines of text look deliberate and stately. Numerals match the letters in contrast and presence, reading as display-friendly figures with pronounced thick–thin transitions.
