A high-contrast serif with distinctly sculpted, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are spacious and generously proportioned, with broad capitals and ample internal counters that keep the texture open even at larger sizes. Curves terminate in sharp, tapered beaks and wedge-like serifs, giving many strokes a chiseled, calligraphic finish. The rhythm feels steady and traditional, with crisp joins, strong vertical stress, and a slightly lively baseline presence in glyphs like g, y, and z.
Best suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine titling, and brand applications that benefit from a classic serif with strong contrast and crisp detail. It can also work for short-form text or pull quotes where a traditional, authoritative voice and an open, spacious texture are desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic elegance. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a sense of formality and authority, while the open proportions keep it readable and composed rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif impression with heightened contrast and sharpened terminal detailing for impact. It balances traditional proportions with a more dramatic, carved finish to stand out in display typography while keeping an orderly, readable rhythm.
In the sample text, the font creates a bold, high-contrast page color with clear word shapes and prominent serif detail. Numerals share the same sharp, bracketed finishing and strong contrast, matching the text voice. The design reads cleanly in display settings, where the tapered terminals and sculpted serifs become a defining visual signature.
