A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and sharply tapering hairlines, creating a crisp, dramatic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and relatively sharp, with pronounced triangular joins and occasional ball-like terminals in the lowercase. Proportions feel sturdy and slightly expanded, with a steady, upright stance and clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled, and counters tend toward the compact side, giving letters a dense, weighty presence at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and other large-format typography where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It works well for editorial layouts, book or magazine covers, premium branding, and posters that need a classic serif voice with strong impact.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with a refined, editorial polish. Its pronounced contrast and formal detailing lend a sense of heritage and authority, while the bold presence reads as premium and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, classical serif feel with heightened contrast and a bold, display-forward color. Its structure prioritizes drama and refinement, aiming for authoritative typography that reads as established and upscale.
In the sample text, the heavy verticals and tight internal spaces produce a dark color on the page; spacing appears designed to hold together in large headlines rather than airy reading sizes. The numerals share the same high-contrast construction and feel cohesive with the capitals in emphasis and finish.
