A heavy, high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and substantial main stems. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into wedge-like terminals, creating a crisp, engraved rhythm rather than a slab feel. Curves show pronounced swelling and teardrop-like joins, with ball terminals appearing on several lowercase forms and in the numerals. Proportions are fairly compact with tight apertures in letters like a, e, and s, while capitals maintain broad, stately shapes and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display and titling—magazine headlines, book covers, posters, pull quotes, and identity work where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial passages when generous size and spacing are available to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a vintage editorial flavor. Its dramatic contrast and stylized terminals give it a slightly theatrical, old-world presence that reads as formal and deliberate rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with heightened drama through contrast, tapered serifs, and ornamental terminals—aiming for a confident, classic look that stands out in prominent typography.
At text sizes the dense counters and strong contrast can darken the page color, while at larger sizes the pointed serifs, bulb terminals, and distinctive curves become a clear stylistic signature. The figures share the same calligraphic weight shifts and terminal treatment, helping headings and number-heavy settings feel cohesive.
