This is a high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and strongly modulated strokes. Curves are full and rounded, while terminals and joins stay sharp and clean, creating a carved, print-like feel. Capitals are tall and stately with generous width, and the lowercase shows a steady, traditional rhythm with open counters and clear differentiation between stems and hairlines. Figures appear lining and similarly contrasty, matching the text color and vertical emphasis of the letters.
It performs best in headlines, deck copy, and editorial settings where its contrast and strong serif detailing can be appreciated. It’s also well-suited to book and magazine typography, premium branding, and packaging where a classic, authoritative impression is desired.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, evoking classic publishing and institutional typography. Its sharp contrasts and confident, sculpted shapes give it an authoritative voice suited to prominent typographic roles.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast serif voice with a polished, print-classic appearance. It prioritizes presence and refinement, balancing sturdy verticals with delicate hairlines for an elevated, publication-ready texture.
At larger sizes the hairlines and bracketed details read as elegant and precise, while the strong thick strokes keep the texture dark and assertive. The serif shapes and contrast produce a pronounced horizontal finishing that can add a traditional, “engraved” character to headings.
