A high-contrast serif with sturdy vertical stems and sharply tapered hairlines, set with bracketed serifs that often finish in subtly beaked or flared terminals. The capitals are broad and stately, with generous interior counters (notably in C, G, O, Q) and a strong baseline presence. Lowercase forms are compact and rhythmic, with pronounced thick–thin modulation and occasional ball-like terminals (as seen in letters such as a and y), giving the texture a lively, slightly calligraphic edge. Numerals follow the same contrasty model with confident curves and crisp joins, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and promotional display where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that aims for a classic, authoritative voice, especially when set with ample spacing and at sizes large enough to preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and refinement without feeling delicate. Its strong contrast and sculpted terminals suggest tradition and seriousness, with a touch of expressive energy that keeps headlines from feeling rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened contrast and a confident, display-forward presence. It prioritizes strong structure and recognizable classical proportions while adding expressive terminal detailing for personality in titles and prominent text.
In continuous text, the heavy stems create a dark, impactful color, while the fine hairlines and bracketing add sparkle and definition at larger sizes. The wide capitals and emphatic serifs make it especially noticeable in title-case settings and short lines.
