This serif has pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, tapered endings and bracketed serifs that often terminate in beak-like points. Curves are full and smooth, while joins and diagonals stay sharp, giving the letterforms a sculpted, high-contrast rhythm. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, and the lowercase shows sturdy, traditional constructions with distinct ball terminals and wedge-like strokes in places, producing a dense, confident texture in running text.
It is well suited to headlines and subheads where the contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated, as well as editorial applications such as magazine titling and book-cover typography. It can also support premium branding and packaging when a classic, authoritative serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining classic book-seriousness with a heightened, display-ready drama. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast read as premium and formal, lending a sense of authority and polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with elevated contrast and more incisive finishing for added presence. It prioritizes dramatic silhouette and a strong typographic color that stands out in display and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the heavy vertical emphasis and tight internal spaces create strong color and impact, especially at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same sculpted contrast and crisp finishing, maintaining a cohesive, editorial look across letters and figures.
