This serif has a strongly vertical stance with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. The capitals feel broad and steady, with generous bowls and clear interior counters, while the lowercase maintains a traditional text rhythm with moderate ascenders and descenders. Terminals are crisp and refined, and the overall drawing favors clean joins, smooth curves, and a slightly grand, display-leaning presence even in paragraph settings.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial typography where its contrast and serifs can read cleanly. It also suits book covers and sophisticated branding, particularly when set with comfortable spacing and used at sizes that let the fine strokes hold up.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that recalls traditional book and magazine typography. Its high-contrast sparkle and confident proportions give it a formal, polished character suited to thoughtful, established brands and content-heavy layouts.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a conventional text serif, emphasizing clarity and tradition while adding extra visual punch through strong contrast and confident, wide capitals.
In the sample text, the weight and contrast create a strong page color and a pronounced typographic voice, especially at larger sizes. Numerals appear sturdy and clear, aligning well with the overall formal text-serif construction.
