A very bold, high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals and tapered transitions that swell into flared, bracketed terminals. The serifs read as sharp and triangular with smooth joining, giving the letterforms a carved, sculptural feel rather than a flat slab look. Counters are compact and somewhat enclosed in rounds like O, P, and e, while diagonals (V, W, X) are weighty and crisp. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a compact, footed t, and a rounded e with a small aperture, producing a dense, authoritative texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and other short bursts of text where its dense weight and sculpted serifs can carry impact. It works well for magazine mastheads, book covers, packaging, and branding that wants a classic but forceful serif presence.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, with a classic, editorial voice. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add drama and a slightly vintage, print-forward character suited to statements rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding, print-classic serif look with dramatic contrast and flared detailing, optimized for attention-grabbing typography. Its forms balance traditional proportions with sharpened terminals to create a distinctive, high-impact texture.
Spacing and rhythm feel tight and energetic at display sizes, with prominent dark masses and clear vertical emphasis. Numerals are heavy and compact, matching the headline-oriented color and reinforcing a poster-like presence.
