A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp triangular/bracketed serifs, and sharply tapered terminals. The forms feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic, with a relatively large x-height and compact interior apertures that read strongly at display sizes. Uppercase letters are broad and stately, while lowercase shows sturdy bowls and clear entry/exit strokes; numerals are equally weighty with strong vertical stress and decisive finishing details.
Best suited for headlines, magazine titling, and other editorial applications where strong contrast and crisp serifs can carry the design. It also fits book covers and premium packaging that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice, and can work for short passages when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a dramatic, editorial bite created by the steep contrast and sharp finishing. It projects a refined, old-style gravitas—suited to messages that want to feel established, confident, and serious rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened contrast and sharpened detailing for impact. It aims to balance traditional proportions and readability cues with a more dramatic, attention-forward texture for display-led typography.
In text, the heavy stems and tight counters create a dense color on the page, and the sharp terminals add sparkle at larger sizes. The rhythm is consistent across caps and lowercase, with distinctive, slightly beaked joins and a clear vertical emphasis that reinforces a formal, print-oriented character.
