A sculpted serif with sharply defined, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that creates bright internal whites and crisp edges. Uppercase forms feel tall and stately, with strong vertical stress and wedge-like finishing on many strokes. Curves (C, G, O, Q) show tight, controlled bowls and tapered joins, while diagonals (V, W, X) are sturdy and carefully balanced. The lowercase is compact and text-oriented, with sturdy stems, small apertures in letters like e and c, and distinctive teardrop/ball-like terminals and dots in the i and j.
Works best for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and crisp serifs can shine. It also suits editorial branding, magazine mastheads, and book-cover typography that benefits from a classic, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and polish with a slightly theatrical, high-contrast sparkle. It reads as confident and refined, suited to settings where a classic voice and strong typographic presence are desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif impression with elevated contrast and crisp finishing, combining classical proportions with attention-grabbing sharpness for prominent text.
Details are sharp and high-impact at display sizes, with hairline elements and tight counters that reward generous sizes and good reproduction. Numerals are clear and weighty, aligning well with the overall formal rhythm of the letterforms.
