A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a confident, slightly condensed rhythm in text. Stems broaden into subtly flared endings, while serifs read as sharp, wedge-like and often lightly bracketed, giving the joins a sculpted feel. The uppercase shows strong vertical stress and crisp, tapered diagonals; the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with compact, rounded counters and clear differentiation between forms. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering logic, with bold, dark masses and fine interior apertures that create a lively texture at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines and deck copy in magazines and editorial layouts where a strong, high-contrast serif can carry hierarchy. It also fits book covers, cultural posters, and branding that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice with refined detailing.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, combining a classical bookish seriousness with a touch of theatrical drama from the strong contrast and sharp serifing. It conveys authority and tradition, with enough stylistic edge to feel distinctive rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-contrast reading of a traditional serif model, enhanced by flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs to heighten drama and presence in display typography.
In the sample text, the tight apertures and delicate hairlines create sparkle, while the flared stroke endings add a carved, engraved quality. The heavy weight and sharp details suggest it will look most confident when given room to breathe and printed or rendered at sizes where the thin strokes remain visible.
