A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and a compact internal rhythm. Thick main stems are paired with very thin hairlines, producing sharp, dark silhouettes and crisp counters. Serifs are narrow and pointed, with frequent beak-like terminals and wedgey finishes that give many letters a cut, engraved feel. Curves on C/G/S and the bowls of B/D/O show strong thick–thin modulation; joins and apertures are tight, and the overall color on the page is dense and emphatic.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated—headlines, magazine mastheads, posters, and book or album covers. It can also work for branding and short bursts of text where a classic, high-impact serif voice is desired, rather than extended small-size reading.
The font reads as commanding and traditional, with a dramatic, headline-forward presence. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast evoke editorial and institutional typography—confident, serious, and slightly theatrical rather than casual.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif authority with maximum impact: strong verticals, razor-thin hairlines, and pointed terminals that create a dramatic, attention-grabbing typographic signature for display use.
Letterforms show noticeable width variation and a somewhat compressed, compact fit in running text, which amplifies the bold, poster-like texture. Numerals mirror the same contrast and weight distribution, staying sturdy and prominent at display sizes.
