A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs that read sharply against substantial stems. The capitals are broad and stately, with flat, finely cut serifs and clean, straight-sided geometry that keeps the overall texture steady. Lowercase forms balance sturdy main strokes with thin connecting hairlines; details like the ear on “g,” the brisk shoulder transitions, and the narrow cross-strokes create a lively, engraved feel without becoming ornate. Numerals appear robust and display-oriented, with clear contrast and compact internal counters that stay readable at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and other display typography where the sharp contrast and broad proportions can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial decks, pull quotes, and branded statements that need a formal, established tone; for extended small text, it will read more assertive and dense than neutral.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, leaning toward a bookish, institutional voice with a touch of theatrical drama from the stark contrast. It feels suited to messages that should sound established and emphatic rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and strong, poster-like weight—combining traditional serif construction with a widened, attention-grabbing stance for impactful display typography.
In text, the strong contrast and fine serifs create a crisp sparkle along the baseline and cap line, while the wide set and large, weighty shapes produce a dense, commanding presence. Spacing appears generous enough to keep counters open, but the visual color remains dark and emphatic, especially in bold text settings.
