A high-contrast serif with broad proportions and a confident, open stance. Vertical stems are strong and straight, while hairlines are fine, creating pronounced thick–thin rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, with subtle flaring where strokes broaden into terminals, giving joins and endings a carved, chiseled finish. Counters are generous and the overall spacing feels airy at display sizes, producing a clean, structured texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its wide proportions and contrast can shine. It also fits editorial and book-cover typography that benefits from a classic, authoritative serif voice, and can be used for short passages when set with sufficient size and leading.
The face reads as formal and editorial, with a traditional, bookish gravitas. Its sharp serifs and crisp contrast convey authority and refinement, leaning toward classic publishing and institutional tones rather than casual or playful ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with heightened contrast and flared finishing details, balancing traditional structure with a slightly sharpened, display-ready crispness. Its proportions and stroke endings suggest an aim toward impactful titling and refined editorial use.
Capitals feel particularly expansive, with wide bowls and sturdy horizontals that emphasize a stately headline presence. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and formal, with clear shapes that suit prominent settings. In text, the strong contrast and pronounced serifs create a lively sparkle, best supported by comfortable sizes and ample line spacing.
