This typeface presents strongly contrasted strokes with a vertical stress: thick stems and bowls are paired with very fine hairlines in arms, crossbars, and serifs. Serifs are crisp and finely tapered with little visible bracketing, giving the letterforms a sharp, engraved finish. Proportions are expansive and generously set, with broad uppercase forms and wide lowercase rounds that create a steady, horizontal rhythm. The lowercase shows clear, traditional construction (two-storey a, single-storey g) with compact apertures and sturdy joins, while numerals are weighty and formal, matching the emphatic headline color.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as magazine headlines, newspaper-style titling, posters, and book covers where the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when generous sizing and spacing preserve the hairline features.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, combining classical bookish cues with a theatrical, high-contrast punch. It reads as traditional and refined, but with enough force and width to feel declarative and attention-getting in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical, high-contrast serif voice optimized for impactful display typography. It emphasizes refined hairlines and sharp serifs while keeping forms broad and steady to maintain a strong, legible presence in headlines.
At text sizes the fine hairlines and delicate serifs become a defining feature, producing a crisp texture that benefits from ample size and clean reproduction. The wide set and strong thick–thin transitions create a prominent silhouette, especially in capitals and rounded letters.
