This is a high-contrast serif with crisp, sharply tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that alternate between thin hairlines and substantial main strokes. Proportions lean generously wide, giving capitals a stately footprint and creating an open, horizontal rhythm in text. Curves are smoothly modeled with pronounced thick–thin transitions, while joins and spurs stay clean and controlled, producing a polished, print-oriented texture.
It performs especially well in headlines, pull quotes, and editorial display where the wide proportions and contrast can be appreciated. It can also support refined branding and book-cover typography, particularly in larger sizes where the hairlines and sharp terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a slightly dramatic contrast that reads as editorial and traditional rather than purely utilitarian. Its wide stance and sharp finishing details add a sense of ceremony and confidence, suitable for settings where elegance and presence are desired.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif with widened proportions and crisp finishing, aiming to deliver a classic editorial voice with added visual drama for display-forward typography.
In the samples, the strong contrast and wide letterforms create a bold headline color while maintaining a conventional serif structure. Numerals and lowercase show consistent modulation and pointed terminals, reinforcing the crisp, formal character across the set.
