A dense, display-oriented serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced contrast between thick stems and thin hairlines. The letterforms are wide and steady, with crisp, sharply cut serifs and largely unbracketed joins that keep the silhouette clean and assertive. Counters are generous and open for the weight, while details like ball terminals and curled tails (notably on characters such as g and y) add distinctive texture. Numerals are sturdy and high-impact, with classic proportions and clear differentiation at large sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, mastheads, and large editorial typography where high contrast and width can carry strong hierarchy. It can also work for branding, packaging, and title treatments that benefit from a classic serif base with dramatic, high-impact presence.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical with a traditional, print-like sophistication. It reads as confident and authoritative, evoking headline typography from editorial and poster contexts where contrast and presence are part of the voice.
Likely designed to deliver a commanding, old-style editorial feel in a bold, widened form, combining refined high-contrast structure with a few expressive terminals for character. The intent reads as display-first: maximum presence, clear hierarchy, and a familiar serif vocabulary pushed toward a more theatrical, poster-ready voice.
At text sizes it will feel heavy and attention-grabbing; the thin hairlines and sharp details suggest best performance in larger settings where the contrast can remain crisp. The wide set and strong black shapes create a deliberate rhythm and a distinctly graphic word image.
