A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, bracketed wedge serifs. The design favors sturdy vertical stems and tapered joins, with crisp terminals and a slightly calligraphic flow where strokes flare into the serifs. Capitals feel stately and compact with strong presence, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions and clear differentiation between rounded and straight forms. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and weighty, with clean contours and a consistent serif treatment that keeps them aligned with the text style.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where its high-contrast structure can read cleanly and add drama. It fits editorial applications such as magazine typography, book and journal titles, and premium branding moments that want a traditional serif voice with strong impact.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and refinement. Its dramatic contrast and crisp finishing give it a premium, fashion-forward edge while still reading as traditional and literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif foundation with elevated contrast and sharply finished details, balancing conventional readability with a more emphatic, display-capable presence for modern editorial use.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and tight, dark texture create an assertive rhythm at larger sizes; at smaller sizes, the finer hairlines and sharp serifs are likely to become the defining visual feature. Round letters show controlled tension and slightly flattened curves, helping maintain a steady baseline and a disciplined, print-like color.
