A high-contrast serif with sculpted, bracketed serifs and sharp, tapering terminals that create a crisp, engraved rhythm. Stems are sturdy and vertical, while thin strokes and hairline joins add snap and sparkle in counters and apertures. Curves are round and full, with a slightly lively, calligraphic modulation visible in letters like a, e, s, and g, balanced by firm, stable capitals. Overall spacing reads open and steady, supporting dense setting while maintaining a pronounced thick–thin texture.
It performs best in display-to-text crossover roles where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated: magazine headlines and decks, book covers and chapter openings, posters, and brand marks that want a classic, literary authority. In longer passages it can work when size and leading give the hairlines room, keeping the dark, elegant texture from feeling busy.
The font projects a formal, editorial tone with a confident, traditional voice. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing feel suited to prestige contexts—serious, composed, and slightly theatrical—without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with heightened contrast and assertive weight, combining traditional proportions with crisp, contemporary sharpness for strong typographic presence.
The capitals read especially stately, with pronounced serifs and clean shoulders, while the lowercase shows a more humanist liveliness in its bowls and terminals. Numerals are bold and clear with strong silhouettes and noticeable contrast, matching the text color of the letters.
