A heavy, high-contrast serif with broad proportions and a distinctly sculpted, calligraphic feel. Stems are thick and confident while hairlines snap to thin, creating sharp internal transitions and lively rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often slightly beaked, with occasional flared joins and ball-like terminals that give the contours a carved, inked quality. Counters are generally open but can tighten in the boldest letters, and the overall texture on the page reads dense and emphatic, especially in mixed-case settings.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and cover typography where its wide stance and crisp contrast can be showcased. It also works well for editorial branding, magazine titles, and heritage-leaning identities that want a traditional serif with extra punch.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a formal, authoritative voice that still feels animated due to the energetic contrast and expressive terminals. It evokes traditional printing and book typography, leaning toward a dramatic, headline-forward presence rather than quiet neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and expressive detailing, creating a strong, premium texture for display and editorial contexts. The broad proportions and emphatic terminals aim to maximize impact while keeping a familiar, readable serif structure.
In the sample text the weight and contrast produce strong word shapes and clear hierarchy, but the dense color and sharp hairlines can dominate at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same wide, high-contrast treatment and read as sturdy and display-leaning alongside the letters.
