A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms feel broad and spacious, with sturdy vertical stems, tapered joins, and sharp wedge-like terminals that give contours a carved, high-contrast look. Counters are generous and mostly open, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are smoothly tensioned for a stately rhythm. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright, with a consistent, display-leaning texture in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, magazine typography, and other editorial settings where strong contrast and a wide stance can carry the page. It also fits premium branding and poster work, especially when set with ample leading and spacing to let the sharp serifs and tapered strokes stay clean.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, combining traditional book-serf cues with a more theatrical, headline-ready punch. Its strong contrast and broad stance create a sense of luxury and authority, while the sharpened terminals add a slightly dramatic, contemporary edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with amplified contrast and width for impact in display and editorial contexts, while keeping conventional proportions and familiar forms for immediate readability.
In the sample text, the weight and contrast produce a dense, commanding color that holds together well in large blocks, though the sharp details and fine hairlines read most clearly at larger sizes. The numerals share the same high-contrast, sculpted logic, helping mixed text feel cohesive.
