A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes transition from very thin hairlines to robust verticals, with crisp joins and a slightly calligraphic modulation that keeps counters open despite the dark color. Capitals feel stately and broad-shouldered, while the lowercase shows compact, rounded bowls and distinct, tapering entry/exit strokes. Numerals are assertive and varied in width, with clear thick–thin rhythm and traditional serifed forms.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display applications where contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also fits magazine and book-cover typography, as well as upscale branding and packaging that needs a classical, authoritative presence.
The overall tone is formal and literary, combining classic bookish authority with a touch of theatrical contrast. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings give it a refined, editorial voice that feels premium and deliberate rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident, traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and flared finishing strokes, balancing classical proportions with a more expressive, carved-in ink/stone feel for impactful display typography.
The sample text shows strong word-shape and steady rhythm at display sizes, with hairline details that benefit from clean reproduction and adequate size. Rounded forms like O/Q and the two-storey a/g add traditional warmth, while the pointed, energetic diagonals in letters like V/W/X keep the texture lively.
