A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, weighty main strokes, and tightly controlled bracketed serifs. Proportions read slightly expanded, with generous counters and a steady, upright stance. Curves show a vertical-stress feeling and a sculpted, engraved-like modulation, while joins and terminals stay sharp and deliberate. The overall rhythm is confident and text-capable, with subtle irregularities in width and stroke transitions that add a crafted, old-style texture.
Best suited to display typography—headlines, decks, pull quotes, and cover work—where the contrast and sharp serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also serve in high-end editorial layouts for short text passages, especially when set with mindful leading and tracking.
The tone is traditional and editorial, projecting seriousness and authority. Its sharp contrast and carved details give it a refined, slightly dramatic voice that feels at home in literary or institutional contexts rather than casual UI settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif voice with heightened contrast for impact. It balances familiar text-serif proportions with more dramatic stroke modulation to create a polished, print-forward presence.
In larger sizes the hairline serifs and thin connecting strokes become a key part of the personality, lending a crisp, print-like finish. In smaller sizes, the extreme contrast suggests it will benefit from comfortable spacing and adequate resolution to keep fine details from thinning out.
