A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, finished with crisp wedge-like, lightly bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with pointed terminals and subtle flaring where strokes meet the ends, giving forms a carved, chiseled feel. Uppercase proportions are stately and slightly narrow, while lowercase counters stay open and legible; the italic is not present in the samples, and the overall posture remains upright and composed.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and editorial typography where contrast and sharp serifs can add hierarchy and sophistication. It also fits book covers, magazine titles, and brand marks that want a classic, premium voice; for long text, it will be most comfortable at print-friendly sizes where the fine hairlines remain distinct.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with an old-style bookish gravity suited to refined, text-forward design. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add a sense of ceremony and polish, reading as serious and editorial rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with a dramatic thick–thin cadence and sculpted, flared endings that add refinement without becoming ornate. It aims for strong typographic presence and elegant structure, balancing tradition with crisp, contemporary finishing.
In the sample text, the strong thick–thin rhythm creates a pronounced line texture, and the crisp joins and terminals stay clear at large sizes. Numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the capitals in presence.
