A display-oriented serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast, upright posture, and broad proportions. Stems expand into subtly flared terminals and wedge-like serifs, creating a sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than blunt slab endings. Curves are full and round with smooth joins, counters are ample, and the overall rhythm is steady and stately, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp, sharp apexes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, posters, and titling where its contrast and width can read cleanly at larger sizes. It also works well for editorial branding elements—magazine nameplates, pull quotes, section openers, and packaging or labels seeking a classic, premium voice. For long body text, it will be most effective when given comfortable size and spacing to preserve its sharp details and contrast.
This typeface conveys a confident, editorial tone with a classic, slightly dramatic voice. The crisp contrast and flared detailing give it a refined, literary feel, while the generous width adds a sense of openness and authority.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact typography that still feels rooted in traditional book and editorial forms. Its flared terminals and strong contrast suggest an aim to balance elegance with presence, making it suitable for prominent settings where character and clarity both matter.
The numerals share the same high-contrast, serifed construction and feel well matched to the letters, giving dates and figures a similarly formal tone. Lowercase forms appear compact relative to capitals, reinforcing a display hierarchy and a traditional, text-rooted color when set in words.
