A high-contrast serif with heavy, sculpted stems and sharply thinning connections into hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with crisp triangular terminals and occasional ball terminals (notably on forms like the lowercase a). Curves are broad and confident, counters are relatively open, and stroke modulation is pronounced, giving letters a carved, ink-trap-free look that reads as deliberate rather than calligraphic. The set shows a conventional, upright construction with a steady baseline rhythm and slightly generous widths that help the bold weight stay legible.
Best suited for headlines, deck type, and other display settings where the bold weight and high contrast can create impact. It works well in editorial layouts, posters, and branding applications that want a formal, refined serif voice with strong presence, and it can also serve for short subheads or pull quotes where clarity and character are both important.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a dramatic, premium feel driven by the stark thick–thin contrast. It conveys authority and ceremony while still feeling modern in its crispness, making it well-suited to attention-forward typography rather than quiet body text.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with heightened contrast and sharpened, faceted detailing for contemporary impact. Its sturdy main strokes and crisp terminals suggest a focus on dramatic, print-forward typography that remains readable at typical headline sizes.
Distinctive triangular joins and pointed interior notches appear in several glyphs, adding a faceted, chiseled character. Numerals and capitals carry strong presence and clear silhouettes, and the punctuation and round forms maintain the same contrast and sharp terminal language for a cohesive page color.
