A wide, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and sharply thinned hairlines. Serifs are crisp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, producing pointed joins and a carved, engraved feel. Capitals are broad and steady with tightly controlled curves (notably in C, G, and O), while the lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with a two-storey a and g, a prominent ear on g, and a firm, upright rhythm. Numerals are weighty and display-like, with clear, angular terminals that echo the serif treatment.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where its width and contrast can deliver strong presence. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, authoritative serif voice, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is formal and assertive, with a dramatic, editorial presence. Its sharp wedges and sculpted contrast suggest tradition and authority, while the generous width adds a confident, headline-ready stance.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif with heightened drama: a familiar text-serif skeleton reinforced with broad proportions, sharp wedge terminals, and pronounced contrast to create a commanding, high-impact reading experience.
The design leans on strong triangulated details—seen in joins and terminals on letters like A, K, W, and X—which heighten the crispness at large sizes. In paragraph settings it reads as dense and emphatic, favoring impact over delicacy.
