A sharply modeled serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, often finishing in pointed terminals that give the letterforms a carved, sculptural feel. Uppercase proportions are stately with generous capitals and strong vertical stress, while the lowercase shows compact, sturdy bowls and clear differentiation between round and straight strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes that read best when given ample size and spacing.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and large-size editorial typography where its contrast and sharp detailing can shine. It also fits book covers, cultural posters, and premium branding that needs a classic serif voice with extra visual bite.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial drama. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast rhythm evoke traditional book typography and luxury print, lending text a composed, slightly theatrical presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and sharpened finishing details, producing an elegant yet attention-grabbing texture for display-led typography.
In dense settings the thinnest hairlines and inner joins can visually recede, while at display sizes the pointed terminals and bracketed serifs become a defining feature. The design maintains a consistent vertical rhythm, but the spikier serifs and tight counters suggest it benefits from comfortable leading and avoids very small reproduction.
