A robust serif with strong vertical stems, compact counters, and pronounced bracketed serifs that finish in beaked, slightly flared terminals. The stroke modulation is dramatic, with hairline-like connections and heavier main strokes, creating a punchy rhythm and crisp internal shapes. Curves (notably in O, C, S, and the numerals) show a more horizontal stress and a sculpted, engraved feel, while the lowercase maintains compact bowls and clear ascender/descender structure. Overall spacing reads on the tight side at display sizes, emphasizing a dense, emphatic texture.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and large editorial settings where the dramatic contrast and dense color can read as intentional and premium. It can also work for book covers, magazine mastheads, and formal announcements where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The tone is classic and assertive, evoking bookish authority and an old-style, print-forward sensibility. Its high-contrast sparkle and weighty presence feel formal and editorial, with a hint of vintage gravitas rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical text-serif vocabulary with amplified contrast and weight for strong display impact, balancing familiar proportions with sharper terminals and a darker overall color to project authority and heritage.
The numerals appear sturdy and headline-ready, matching the uppercase’s strong slab-like massing while retaining conventional serif detailing. Round letters keep their counters relatively small, contributing to a darker color and a confident, attention-grabbing voice in continuous text.
