A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, sharply finished terminals. Serifs are compact and bracketed, often with a slightly flared or beaked character that gives strokes a carved, engraved feel. Counters are relatively tight at this weight, with a steady vertical stress and clear, upright construction. Curves and joins show pronounced tapering, and the overall rhythm is dense and punchy while remaining traditionally proportioned for text settings.
Best suited to editorial headlines and display typography where the contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated—magazine titles, book covers, and promotional posters. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous leading and careful spacing to keep dense strokes from closing up at smaller sizes.
The font conveys a classic, editorial authority with a slightly dramatic, showy edge. Its sharp terminals and emphatic contrast read as confident and formal, evoking book typography, historic printing, and headline tradition rather than a casual or contemporary tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and crisp finishing, balancing readable, conventional structures with more dramatic, engraved-like detailing. It aims to project seriousness and craft while adding visual impact for titling and prominent text.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and compact, with pointed details on diagonals and curves that add sparkle at larger sizes. The lowercase shows lively calligraphic shaping—noticeable in letters like a, g, and e—creating a textured line in paragraphs. Numerals are bold and sculpted, matching the letterforms’ tapered curves and sharp finishing.
