A sturdy, high-contrast serif with compact, rounded bowls and distinctly bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with tapered joins and crisp terminals, giving letters a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. The lowercase is compact and readable, with sturdy verticals and lively, angled details in forms like v/w/x/y and the two-storey g; the overall rhythm is even but not rigid, with subtly varied widths across the alphabet.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text settings where contrast and serif detail can read clearly—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, book or magazine typography, and refined brand marks. It can also work for formal UI or packaging titling when set with comfortable tracking and adequate size.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition without feeling delicate. Its sharp serifs and sculpted contrast create a confident, slightly dramatic voice suited to serious or literary messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-serif foundation with added weight and contrast for impact. It aims for familiar readability while introducing sharper, more sculpted details that give titles a composed, authoritative presence.
The numerals are bold and round with pronounced contrast and strong top/bottom shaping, matching the headline-ready weight of the letters. Curved letters like C, G, and S show clean internal apertures and crisp finishing, while diagonals and cross-strokes maintain a consistent, emphatic presence across the set.
