A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into wedge-like feet, giving strokes a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish rather than a purely mechanical one. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm is energetic, with subtle irregularities in joins and terminals that create a decorative, hand-influenced texture. Numerals follow the same display-forward logic, with bold massing and crisp transitions that read strongly at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other display settings where its strong contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can add authority to branding and packaging, and it fits well on book covers or editorial layouts that want a classic tone with extra personality.
The face conveys a classic, editorial gravitas with a touch of theatricality. Its sharp tapers and vigorous contrast feel confident and slightly dramatic, suitable for messaging that aims to look established, premium, or emphatic rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif model with heightened contrast and decorative, tapered finishing. Its goal is likely to deliver a familiar, classical foundation while adding distinctive terminal shapes and a bolder presence for attention-grabbing typography.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and tightly shaped counters create a dark, dense color on the page, with distinctive silhouettes in capitals and lively diagonals in letters like K, V, W, and X. The lowercase has a traditional bookish structure but with more display-like terminal flair, making it feel more expressive than a straightforward text serif.
