A high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed, slightly flared terminals and pronounced thick–thin transitions. The letterforms are broad and steady, with a firm vertical axis and sculpted joins that create a crisp, engraved color on the page. Serifs read as wedge-like and tapered rather than slabby, and several strokes show subtle notches or pinched joints that add definition in dense settings. Lowercase proportions sit at a moderate x-height with sturdy verticals and compact counters, while capitals feel spacious and classical.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper display typography, book covers, and poster titling where contrast and classic serif detailing are meant to be seen. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers in editorial layouts, especially where a bold, traditional voice is desired.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, evoking traditional book typography with a touch of theatrical emphasis. Its sharp contrast and emphatic serifs give it a formal, declarative voice suited to serious or ceremonial messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-forward serif presence with dramatic contrast and assertive terminals, balancing traditional proportions with crisp detailing for impactful text and display use.
Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with pronounced ascenders/descenders and strong contrast, reinforcing a traditional text flavor even in display sizes. The italics are not shown, and the sample indicates a tight, weighty texture that favors headline and short-form settings over airy, minimalist layouts.
