A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The design shows a strong vertical stress and sharp terminals, with a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel in the curves and joins. Proportions run on the broader side, with open counters and clear separation between strokes, giving a robust page color at display and subhead sizes. Numerals share the same contrast and serif treatment, with classic lining forms and assertive weight in the thicker strokes.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where high contrast and sharp serif detail can be appreciated. It fits editorial layouts, magazine titling, book covers, and formal branding moments where a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and a slightly dramatic, print-forward character. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast read as refined and formal, suited to contexts that want a classic voice with presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with extra impact—combining traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with pronounced contrast to create a confident, attention-getting text-and-display companion for editorial typography.
Letterforms exhibit a consistent rhythm and a confident, carved quality, especially in rounded capitals and the heavier, wedge-like terminals on some lowercase forms. The contrast and strong hairlines make spacing and white space feel especially prominent in larger settings.
