This serif features pronounced thick-to-thin modulation with a clear vertical stress and crisp, bracketed serifs. Uppercase forms are sturdy and relatively wide, with strong stem weight and narrow hairlines that sharpen joins and interior details. Lowercase shows compact counters and sturdy arches, with a single-storey “g” and a distinct, looped “j” descender that adds a slightly idiosyncratic rhythm. Numerals are heavy and traditional in construction, with strong contrast and clear baseline alignment, reading confidently at display sizes.
It works best for headlines, magazine mastheads, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It can also serve for short blocks of text in print-oriented layouts when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, combining a bookish, institutional voice with a bold, attention-commanding presence. Its high-contrast detailing and firm serifs give it a formal, authoritative character suited to headline-driven layouts.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and weight for display-led editorial use. Its shapes prioritize authority and typographic tradition while adding distinct lowercase details for a recognizable voice.
The design relies on sharp hairlines and tight internal spaces, which increases its visual sparkle in large settings but can make fine details feel dense as size decreases. Curved letters like C, G, and S emphasize the contrast through thin connecting strokes, contributing to a dramatic, engraved-like texture in paragraphs.
