A compact, high-contrast serif with sharply tapered wedges and small, bracketed serifs that give strokes a chiseled, engraved feel. The rhythm is driven by sturdy vertical stems paired with very thin hairlines, producing crisp, angular joins and pointed terminals. Counters tend toward tight and oval, with a slightly condensed impression and clear, upright construction. Numerals and capitals share the same sculpted contrast, with strong entry/exit strokes and a pronounced thick–thin pattern that reads best at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where its contrast and wedge detailing can stay crisp. It can also serve branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a classic, high-impact serif presence; for long-form text, it will be most effective when set with generous size and leading.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, projecting authority and a sense of tradition. Its dramatic contrast and sharp, cut-in details feel tailored for refined statements—more “headline gravitas” than casual neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and sharpened terminals, maximizing elegance and impact in display settings while retaining familiar letterform structure.
Spacing appears relatively tight, and the sharp hairlines and pointed terminals create a vivid, high-definition texture in running lines. The italic is not shown; the visible forms maintain a consistent upright posture with a distinctly carved, vintage-leaning finish.
