This serif features a strong vertical emphasis with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Curves show clear vertical stress, with rounded bowls and tapered joins that create sharp, confident interior corners. Terminals frequently resolve into teardrop and ball-like shapes (notably on forms like a, c, f, and j), while caps maintain broad, sculpted silhouettes and a steady baseline rhythm. Overall spacing and counters feel generous for the weight, giving the design a substantial presence while preserving internal clarity.
It performs best in large-scale typography such as headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, book covers, and premium branding where its contrast and terminal detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short blocks of text in editorial layouts when given comfortable leading and spacing to prevent the stroke contrast from creating a busy texture.
The tone is formal and high-impact, combining classic bookish cues with a more theatrical, fashion-forward sharpness. Its contrast and polished detailing read as premium and editorial, projecting confidence and tradition without feeling delicate. The result feels suited to statements and display settings where authority and refinement are desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice grounded in conventional text-seriffed structure, optimized for impact and elegance in display use. Its controlled proportions and consistent stress suggest a focus on cohesive page color in headlines while using distinctive terminals to add recognizable character.
The lowercase shows a distinctly typographic, oldstyle-influenced flavor in the two-storey a and g and the lively, swelling terminals, which adds personality at larger sizes. Numerals appear sturdy and rounded, with strong contrast that keeps them prominent in headlines and titling. In dense settings the contrast and tapering details are likely to become the dominant texture, so size and tracking will strongly influence readability.
