A highly contrasted serif with a strong vertical axis, weighty main stems, and notably fine hairlines. The letterforms are broad and steady, with sharp, unbracketed serifs and clean terminals that give the outlines a crisp, cut-from-paper feel. Counters are generous and open in many glyphs, while joins and curves stay controlled and upright, creating a deliberate rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same sculpted contrast and firm baseline presence, producing a dense, headline-forward texture.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, deck typography, poster titles, magazine mastheads, and branding wordmarks where its contrast and breadth can be showcased. It can also work for short editorial callouts or book-cover titling, especially when you want a classic serif voice with heightened drama.
The overall tone is formal and emphatic, pairing classical cues with a bold, attention-commanding presence. It reads as editorial and declarative, with a sense of tradition and ceremony suited to confident, high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to translate a traditional, vertically stressed serif model into a more commanding display texture, emphasizing sharp serifs, wide proportions, and pronounced contrast for maximum impact in large-size settings.
In text, the strong thick-thin transitions create a striking pattern of dark verticals and bright internal whitespace, which can feel lively at larger sizes. The crisp, hairline details suggest it benefits from adequate size and reproduction conditions where fine strokes won’t fill in.
