A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and incisive, with a slightly calligraphic, engraved feel in the curves and joins. Proportions lean traditional, with sturdy vertical stems, rounded bowls that swell into heavy strokes, and a clear rhythm that stays smooth in text while still showing strong display presence. The lowercase shows compact, bookish forms with a double-storey “a” and “g,” and the numerals follow the same sharp, high-contrast logic.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, book jackets, and other typography-forward branding where a refined, classic serif is desired. It can also work for pull quotes, section openers, and elegant packaging, especially where the dramatic contrast can be showcased. For longer passages, it will benefit from comfortable sizing and spacing so the fine details remain clear.
This typeface projects a confident, editorial tone with a touch of drama. The sharp contrast and sculpted curves give it a formal, refined voice that can feel both classic and attention-grabbing. Overall it reads as serious and polished rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast for emphasis and sophistication. It aims to look authoritative and elegant in both short headlines and well-set text, using crisp details and sculpted stroke modulation to create a premium, print-minded impression.
The sample text shows strong word-shape clarity with a distinctly traditional serif texture, while the uppercase has a stately presence and the numerals match the same crisp, high-contrast styling.
