This serif shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with a largely vertical stress and clean, sharply cut details. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving stems a subtly widened, sculpted finish rather than blunt endings. Capitals feel stately and balanced with relatively narrow apertures and crisp joins, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact counters and a straightforward, upright stance. Numerals and punctuation match the same high-contrast construction, reading cleanly at display sizes with a polished, print-like texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other display settings where the contrast and crisp terminals can be appreciated. It also fits book or magazine typography, premium branding, and formal materials where a classical, cultivated voice is needed.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial polish that feels suited to established institutions. Its crisp contrast and carefully tapered endings add refinement and a slightly dramatic presence without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif model with high contrast and subtly flared finishing, aiming for a refined, authoritative look that performs strongly in editorial and display contexts.
In text, the strong contrast and tight interior spaces create a dark, elegant color, especially as size increases. The tapered, flared finishing on vertical strokes lends a carved, calligraphic echo that softens the geometry of otherwise classical letterforms.
