A high-contrast serif with sturdy vertical stems and hairline-thin connecting strokes, producing a crisp, engraved look at display sizes. Serifs are bracketed and taper to sharp points, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and clean, upright stress. Proportions are generously set with broad letterforms, open counters, and a steady, traditional rhythm; the lowercase shows compact, weighty bowls with short, robust arms and a clear, workmanlike construction. Numerals and capitals carry the same bright, formal finish, with round forms staying full and dark while diagonals remain taut and controlled.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and editorial typography where contrast and presence are an advantage. It can also work for book and magazine covers, posters, and formal branding applications that want a classic serif voice with strong impact.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, evoking editorial gravitas and a slightly theatrical elegance from the strong contrast. It reads as formal and assertive, with a classic “print” sensibility that feels established rather than experimental.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional, bookish serif structure with amplified contrast and width for display-driven clarity and prestige. It balances familiar text-serif proportions with a more dramatic thick–thin modulation to increase visual authority and sophistication in prominent settings.
In continuous text, the pronounced contrast and sharp terminals create strong word silhouettes and a distinct sparkle, making it especially striking at larger sizes where the hairlines can fully resolve. The bold color and wide stance give it presence in headlines while still retaining conventional text-serif manners.
