A compact, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and sharply tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, with wedge-like terminals that create a decisive, engraved feel in the heavier strokes. Curves are tight and well controlled, counters are relatively small, and the overall rhythm is vertical and sturdy. The lowercase shows traditional, slightly condensed proportions, while capitals read tall and commanding; figures follow the same contrast and serif treatment for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to headlines and prominent editorial typography where its contrast and compact forms can create a strong typographic voice. It also works well for book covers, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a traditional, high-end serif texture. For long passages, it will appear weighty and attention-grabbing, making it most effective when paired with generous leading and comfortable sizes.
The tone is formal and editorial, projecting authority and tradition. Its steep contrast and crisp details give it a refined, slightly dramatic presence that feels suited to established institutions and classic publishing.
The font appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast for impact and sophistication, balancing traditional proportions with crisp, display-forward detailing for strong editorial presence.
The design’s dense letterfit and compact internal spaces produce a dark, emphatic color in text, especially at display sizes. Spiky joins and tapered terminals add sparkle, but the finest hairlines may require sufficient size or print quality to keep details clean.
