A high-contrast roman with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Curves show a largely vertical stress, with fine hairlines in the bowls and heavier, confident verticals that create a strong light–dark rhythm. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase keeps a traditional, readable build with a normal x-height and clear ascender/descender differentiation. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with sturdy stems and delicate joins that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and branding that benefits from classical contrast and a formal voice. It can also serve for short passages or pull quotes where a traditional, high-contrast texture is desirable, especially at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting tradition and authority with a refined, bookish voice. Its sharp terminals and elegant contrast give it a slightly dramatic, upscale character suited to sophisticated typography rather than utilitarian UI work.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, authoritative roman feel with pronounced contrast and carefully shaped serifs, balancing display elegance with conventional letterforms for familiar readability.
Distinctive details include a strong, sculpted presence in rounded letters (notably O/Q) and pointed, energetic diagonals in V/W/X/Y that add snap to headlines. The sample text shows consistent spacing and an even typographic color for a contrasted design, with the contrast becoming a prominent stylistic feature as size increases.
