A high-contrast serif with strongly sculpted, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. The outlines feel chiseled and calligraphic, with crisp hairlines, weighty verticals, and rounded joins that keep curves smooth rather than sharp. Terminals frequently finish in teardrops or ball-like forms (notably in letters like a, f, j, r), while several capitals show beaked or tapered details that add a formal, engraved flavor. Counters are moderately compact, and spacing reads as sturdy and intentional, giving the face a dense, authoritative texture in text.
Best suited to display and editorial settings—headlines, pull quotes, magazine titles, and book or cultural posters—where its contrast and terminal detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short blocks of text in print-oriented layouts, particularly when paired with generous leading and careful size selection.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a sense of tradition and ceremony. Its dramatic contrast and sculpted terminals convey confidence and refinement, leaning toward a classic bookish voice with a slightly theatrical edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened drama and a premium, print-like finish. It emphasizes contrast, refined serif shaping, and distinctive terminals to create strong presence in titles while retaining familiar, readable letterforms.
Lowercase forms favor traditional, two-storey structures and clearly differentiated shapes, while the numerals appear robust and old-style in spirit, with strong curves and distinctive stroke endings. The combination of heavy main strokes and fine hairlines makes the rhythm lively, especially in larger sizes where the terminal details become a key part of the personality.
