A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms feel open and slightly broad, with generous interior counters and clear, vertical stress in the round shapes. Terminals are sharp and neatly finished, while joins and brackets are smoothly tapered, giving the outlines a carved, print-like clarity. Uppercase forms read stately and stable; lowercase maintains a conventional rhythm with a moderate x-height and distinctive, slightly calligraphic touches in characters like the italic-free, upright “a” and the looping “g.”
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It also fits editorial layouts, magazine titling, and brand marks that want a classic, premium voice; for dense body text, it will work most comfortably at sizes and settings that preserve its thin strokes.
The overall tone is editorial and classic, with a refined, authoritative presence that leans toward sophistication rather than friendliness. Its strong contrast and sharp detailing add a sense of drama and luxury, suited to design contexts that want elegance and hierarchy.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a conventional text serif, emphasizing strong contrast, crisp finishing, and a confident, classical structure for high-impact editorial and brand typography.
In the sample text, the font shows confident word shapes and clear punctuation, with contrast that becomes a defining texture at larger sizes. The numerals appear traditional and well-proportioned, matching the serifed, high-contrast character of the letters.
