A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty vertical stems, showing a distinctly sculpted, slightly calligraphic modulation. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with sharp, tapered terminals that give the outlines a carved, ink-on-paper feel rather than a purely geometric construction. Capitals are stately and spacious with pronounced thick–thin rhythm, while lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and compact bowls that keep texture dense despite the generous overall proportions. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins are clean, producing a polished, print-oriented silhouette.
Well suited to headlines, deck copy, and display typography in editorial settings where contrast and presence are desirable. It can also serve book and magazine covers, poster titling, and brand wordmarks that want a classic serif voice with extra punch and refinement.
The tone is formal and traditional, projecting authority and an editorial gravitas. Its pronounced contrast and sharp finishing details add a hint of drama, making text feel more ceremonial and elevated than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif structure with heightened contrast and sharpened finishing, combining traditional proportions with a more theatrical thick–thin rhythm. It prioritizes a confident page presence and a refined, print-classic impression for editorial and branding applications.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and firm serifs create a prominent typographic color that holds up well at larger sizes, while the thinnest strokes suggest it will benefit from comfortable sizes and good reproduction conditions. Numerals appear lining and robust, matching the capital weight and contributing to a consistent, classical headline voice.
