A high-contrast serif with strongly tapered, subtly flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a carved, calligraphic modulation: thick verticals and hairline connections, with pointed terminals on C/S and sharp joins in diagonals like V/W/X. Counters are compact and the rhythm is dense, giving text a dark, authoritative color; curves (O/Q/G) are smooth and weighty with fine inner hairlines, and the numerals follow the same contrast-heavy, sculpted logic.
Well suited for headlines and short-to-medium text in editorial layouts, book covers, and display-driven branding where a classic, high-contrast serif can carry the page. It performs best when you want a bold typographic voice with refined detailing and strong contrast to anchor a layout.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, with a dramatic, print-forward presence. Its sharp serifs and high contrast add formality and a slightly theatrical edge, suggesting seriousness, prestige, and headline energy rather than casual neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional serif voice with extra punch: flared, tapered terminals and high contrast that bring a contemporary sharpness to a classic editorial structure. It prioritizes impact and elegance in display and headline settings while maintaining coherent text rhythm.
In the text sample, the heavy vertical emphasis and tight interior spaces create strong word shapes and clear hierarchy, especially at larger sizes. The design relies on crisp tapering and fine hairlines for sparkle, so it reads as intentionally stylized rather than purely utilitarian.
