A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes end in crisp, tapered terminals that give the letters a slightly calligraphic, carved feel, while the overall construction remains traditional and disciplined. Proportions are moderately wide with steady spacing, and the lowercase shows a conventional, readable structure with compact bowls and firm vertical stress. Numerals are weighty and clear, matching the uppercase presence and maintaining consistent contrast and serif treatment.
Well suited to headlines, book and magazine titles, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where a classic serif voice with extra punch is desired. It can also serve in branding and packaging that aims for heritage, credibility, or a traditional luxury feel, especially when set with generous leading and careful tracking.
The tone is decidedly traditional and literary, projecting confidence and seriousness without becoming ornate. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast rhythm add a refined, slightly dramatic edge that feels at home in established editorial and institutional settings.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text-serif foundation with stronger weight and sharper, more sculpted detailing, creating a readable but assertive face for prominent text. Its contrast and crisp serif shaping suggest an emphasis on elegance and authority rather than softness or minimalism.
At display sizes the sharp terminals and deep contrast read as crisp and elegant; at smaller sizes the strong weight and tight inner counters suggest it will feel dense and impactful. The italic is not shown, and the sample demonstrates a strong, headline-like texture with emphatic word shapes.
