A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals, tapered joins, and bracketed serifs that often flare subtly at stroke endings. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic modulation: thin hairlines cut in crisply while heavy strokes stay broad and confident, creating a pronounced light–dark rhythm. Counters are relatively tight in the bold weight, and curves are generously rounded, especially in C, G, O, and the numerals. Lowercase forms are conventional and readable, with a two-storey a and g, compact apertures, and a firm, slightly sculpted feel in shoulders and terminals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, and other editorial display settings where strong contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It can also work well for book covers and brand or event marks that need a classic, formal voice, while longer text may benefit from generous size and leading to keep the heavy color from feeling dense.
The overall tone is authoritative and literary, with a dramatic contrast that reads as traditional and editorial. Its sharp hairlines and flared, sculpted details add a sense of ceremony and refinement, making it feel stately rather than casual.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra punch and sculptural flare, balancing classic proportions with a more dramatic, high-contrast rhythm for attention in display and editorial contexts.
The font’s impact comes from consistent, emphatic vertical stress and crisp serif detailing that holds up well at display sizes. Numerals share the same bold, rounded construction and contrast, giving figures a prominent, headline-ready presence.
