A text-oriented serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and bracketed, slightly flared serifs. The shapes show a calligraphic stress and crisp, sculpted terminals, giving strokes a carved, print-like feel rather than a purely geometric construction. Proportions are moderately broad with generous counters and clear internal spaces, while curves and joins introduce subtle liveliness that keeps paragraphs from feeling rigid. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with rounded forms and crisp terminals that read well at display-to-text sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its open counters and structured serifs help guide the eye. The contrast and confident silhouettes also make it effective for headlines, deck type, and pull quotes in magazines, reports, and cultured brand communications.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking established publishing and institutional typography. Its high contrast and shaped serifs add a refined, slightly dramatic voice, suitable for content that benefits from authority and polish without becoming ornate.
Designed to function as a conventional, readable serif while adding a more sculpted, high-contrast presence for contemporary editorial use. The intent appears to balance classical proportions and calligraphic stress with clean, assertive detailing that holds up in both text and display settings.
In the sample text, the face maintains a steady baseline and consistent spacing, producing an even paragraph color despite the strong contrast. Round letters remain open and readable, and the italic-like energy in some curves and terminals lends a gentle dynamism that supports headlines and pull quotes as well as continuous reading.
