A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs. The letterforms feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic: curves swell into heavy bowls while hairlines and joins snap to crisp, pointed terminals. Caps are sturdy and emphatic, with tight internal counters and decisive horizontals, and the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with two-storey forms (notably a) and a compact, weighty texture. Numerals share the same dramatic contrast and firm baseline presence, reading as display-forward rather than delicate.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial settings where the high contrast and sharp detailing can read clearly. It also fits book covers, formal invitations, and brand marks seeking a classic serif impression with extra impact.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, mixing classical bookish cues with a more theatrical, poster-like punch. Its sharp serifs and exaggerated contrast give it a prestigious, headline-ready voice that feels editorial and slightly ceremonial.
This appears designed to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and sharpened detailing for stronger presence in display typography. The forms prioritize elegance and authority while maintaining familiar proportions for readable, traditional setting.
The design relies on strong black shapes and slender hairlines, creating a vivid sparkle at larger sizes and a dense typographic color in paragraphs. Several letters feature pointed, wedge-like terminals and small ink-trap-like notches that add crispness and definition to joins and corners.
