A forceful display serif with pronounced vertical stress and strong thick–thin contrast. The letterforms are broad and weighty, with compact internal counters and crisp, sharp serifs that read as finely cut rather than blocky. Many lowercase forms show rounded, teardrop-like terminals and tight joins that create small notches where strokes meet, adding a chiseled, ink-trap-like texture. Overall spacing feels sturdy and deliberate, producing dense, high-impact words and a steady upright rhythm.
Best suited to large sizes where its contrast and sharp details can be appreciated—headlines, magazine or newspaper mastheads, posters, and book covers. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, but its dense color and tight counters suggest avoiding long body text at small sizes.
The tone is emphatic and old-world, evoking editorial authority and classical gravitas. Its dramatic contrast and sculpted details give it a theatrical, headline-driven presence while still feeling formal and traditional.
The design appears aimed at delivering a commanding, high-contrast serif voice for display typography, combining classical proportions with assertive weight and crisp finishing details to maximize impact in titles and branding.
Uppercase shapes lean toward simplified, monumental forms with generous width, while the lowercase introduces more personality through ball terminals and distinctive joints. Numerals appear heavy and attention-grabbing, suited to display use where strong figure presence is desired.
