A high-contrast serif with broad proportions and sharply tapered joins, showing a pronounced thick–thin rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Serifs are refined and slightly flared, with bracketed transitions that give terminals a sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than blunt slab endings. Counters are generous and round, while verticals feel steady and upright; diagonals and curved strokes thin to razor-like hairlines for a crisp, display-forward texture. The lowercase maintains a traditional structure with a two-storey “g,” a sturdy “a,” and compact, well-defined apertures, yielding a confident, classical cadence in text.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where contrast and sculpted detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging, as well as book or magazine titling where a classic, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a luxe, high-fashion sheen driven by its dramatic contrast and sculpted terminals. It reads confident and traditional, evoking print heritage and polished institutional voice rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif impression: wide, commanding forms paired with dramatic contrast and subtly flared finishing to create a refined, print-centric display texture. Its detailing suggests emphasis on sophistication and impact rather than neutral body-text invisibility.
In the sample text, the strong contrast creates a striking headline color and clear hierarchy, but the finest hairlines become visually delicate at smaller sizes or in dense settings. Capitals feel especially stately due to their broad stance and pronounced serif shaping, while numerals follow the same bold, engraved-like contrast for cohesive display use.
