A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty verticals, built around crisp wedge-like terminals and subtly bracketed serifs. The forms feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic: strokes swell into dark main stems and snap into fine finishing cuts, creating a strong black-and-white rhythm. Proportions are traditional and upright, with a moderate x-height and compact counters that help the face read as dense and authoritative in text. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and O) show pronounced thick–thin modulation, while diagonals and joins remain clean and deliberate rather than softened.
Best suited to headlines, magazine/editorial layouts, and book titling where the high-contrast detailing can remain crisp at larger sizes. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or opening paragraphs when generous leading and comfortable sizes are used to prevent the dense texture from feeling too dark.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, with a dramatic, slightly theatrical contrast that reads as premium and intentional. It evokes traditional book typography and formal publishing, but with enough sharpness in terminals and stress to feel assertive and stylized rather than purely neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and sharper, more stylized terminals—aiming for a refined, print-forward presence that stands out in editorial and display settings without abandoning classical proportions.
The heavier vertical emphasis and narrow interior spaces create a strong typographic color, especially in mixed-case paragraphs. Numerals and capitals carry the same engraved, high-contrast logic, making the face feel cohesive for headings and pull quotes where crisp detail is visible.
