A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, sharply cut serifs. Thick main strokes sit against very thin hairline connections, creating a strong staccato rhythm and a distinctly sculpted, display-forward texture. Proportions are generous and wide, with rounded bowls that feel weighty, while curves tighten into delicate, knife-thin joins. The lowercase shows compact counters and sturdy stems, and the figures include curvy, ornamental forms with noticeable stroke modulation.
Best suited for display applications where contrast and width can be appreciated—magazine mastheads, big editorial headlines, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short callouts on packaging or event materials where a classic, high-impact serif is desired.
The font projects a classic, editorial sophistication with a theatrical edge. Its bold presence and sharp contrast feel assertive and premium, lending a sense of tradition, ceremony, and headline authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice amplified for modern display use, combining traditional vertical-stress construction with exaggerated weight and razor-fine hairlines for maximum impact.
In the sample text, the dense black mass and fine interior hairlines create a lively shimmer at large sizes; at smaller sizes those hairline details may visually recede. The punctuation and numerals echo the same stylized contrast, with especially expressive curves in the 2, 3, 5, and 9.
