A compact serif with pronounced contrast and a strongly vertical, upright stance. Stems are weighty and confident, while hairlines and joins taper sharply, creating crisp internal counters and a lively thick–thin rhythm. Serifs read as wedge-like and subtly flared, with bracketed transitions that help connect the heavy stems to finer terminals. The overall color is dense and dark, with tight proportions and sturdy caps; details such as the angled tail on Q and firm, sculpted numerals reinforce a traditional display serif character.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, posters, and cover typography where strong contrast and dense color are assets. It can also serve editorial branding and section headers, especially in print-like contexts that benefit from a classic serif presence and a compact footprint.
The tone is formal and emphatic, combining old-style seriousness with a theatrical, headline-ready punch. It feels suited to authoritative messaging—more “publisher” than “playful”—with a dramatic contrast that adds sophistication and tension on the page.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, sculpted terminals, optimizing for impact at display sizes while retaining a familiar, literary structure.
In text settings, the strong contrast and tight widths create a compact, high-impact texture; the lowercase keeps a traditional, serifed structure with clear bowls and sturdy verticals. The numerals appear robust and old-fashioned in spirit, with distinctive shapes (notably the 2 and 9) that contribute to a classic editorial voice.
