A wide, high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed wedge-like serifs and pointed terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with relatively thin hairlines and heavier verticals, giving a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Counters are generally open and rounded, while joins and beaks on letters like E, F, and T feel sharp and decisive. Overall proportions are generously set, with ample horizontal spread and steady baseline behavior, producing a strong, stately texture in words and lines.
Best suited to display and larger text sizes such as headlines, editorial titles, book covers, and branding systems that benefit from a classic serif voice. The wide proportions and strong contrast make it particularly effective for short-to-medium runs of text where a confident, traditional tone is desired.
The tone reads classic and authoritative, with an editorial, old-style seriousness. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast add a sense of ceremony and tradition, suitable for content that wants to feel established and confident rather than casual.
The design appears intended to evoke a conventional, time-honored serif tradition while amplifying presence through width and strong contrast. It prioritizes a crisp, engraved or calligraphic feel that reads as formal and premium in display settings.
In the sample text, the wide set and strong contrast create a prominent, high-ink presence, especially in capitals and numerals. The figures appear traditional in style, with clear differentiation and strong baseline weight, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable rhythm despite the dramatic stroke modulation.
