This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a strong vertical axis and a distinctly sculpted, calligraphic feel. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with crisp, tapered terminals that create a lively rhythm in both caps and lowercase. The lowercase forms are compact and sturdy with a tall x-height, while ascenders and capitals rise prominently for a stately profile. Counters tend to be tight and the joins are carefully modeled, producing a dense, high-impact texture in paragraphs and headlines alike.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and display typography where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also fits editorial and book-cover work that benefits from a classic, authoritative tone, and can serve as a strong text companion at comfortable reading sizes with mindful spacing.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a dramatic, editorial voice driven by its sharp contrast and crisp finishing. It reads as refined and serious, evoking bookish authority and heritage without feeling overly ornamental. The bold presence gives it a declarative, headline-ready character.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-impact take on a conventional text serif: familiar proportions and readable structures paired with emphatic contrast and sharply finished terminals to deliver a premium, editorial texture.
Figures appear lining and weighty, matching the strong presence of the letters. In text settings the spacing and contrast produce a dark, rhythmic color that favors larger sizes or generous leading, where the fine hairlines and tapered details can stay clear.
