A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, calligraphic stress and sharply cut, bracketed serifs. Strokes move between hairline joins and heavy verticals, with crisp tapering and pronounced wedge-like terminals in many capitals. Round forms (O, C, G) show elegant thick–thin modulation, while several lowercase characters feature ball terminals and swelling curves that add a slightly decorative cadence. Overall spacing reads open and steady, and the texture is dark and authoritative without becoming blocky.
Well suited to editorial headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and book or album cover typography where contrast and serif detail can read clearly. It can also serve refined branding and packaging that wants a classic, premium voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the hairlines and terminals remain crisp.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish sophistication with a touch of theatrical drama. Its strong contrast and refined detailing feel formal and cultivated, suggesting heritage publishing and polished editorial design rather than utilitarian UI tone.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text serif with heightened contrast and expressive terminals, balancing readability with a more dramatic, display-friendly flavor. Its consistent stress and carefully shaped serifs suggest a focus on elegant typographic color across both uppercase and running text.
Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures) with varying heights and prominent curves, reinforcing a literary, print-oriented personality. The lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and distinctive terminals that increase character at display sizes while remaining coherent in paragraph settings.
