A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and crisp, sharply finished details. Serifs are bracketed with a slight flare, giving terminals a sculpted, calligraphic bite without becoming decorative. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and composed, while the lowercase shows a compact rhythm with clear modulation in strokes and energetic joins. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with generous curves and decisive serifs that keep figures prominent in text.
This face performs especially well in headlines and subheads where contrast and serif detailing can read clearly. It also suits editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and packaging or labeling that benefits from a classic, premium signal.
The overall tone is traditional and serious, with a strong editorial presence. Its sharp contrast and assertive serifs lend an authoritative, slightly dramatic voice suited to refined, print-like typography.
The font appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened contrast for impact, balancing traditional proportions with crisp finishing to create a confident, print-forward texture.
The design maintains a consistent stress and contrast pattern across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive texture. In larger sizes the distinctive terminals and lively stroke modulation become a key part of the visual character.
