A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and firm, upright construction. Serifs are bracketed and taper into sharp, wedge-like terminals, giving joins a carved, calligraphic feel rather than mechanical slabs. Bowls and rounds (C, O, e) show strong thick–thin modulation with crisp inner counters, while verticals carry most of the visual weight. The fit is on the generous side with stable, conventional proportions, and numerals and capitals read as sturdy, display-leaning forms at larger sizes.
This face is well suited to headlines, subheads, and short text in editorial layouts where strong contrast and crisp serifs can shine. It also works well for book covers, cultural branding, and poster typography that benefits from a classic, high-impact serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, somewhat theatrical presence created by the strong contrast and emphatic serifs. It feels traditional and authoritative, suited to settings where a formal voice and high-impact typographic color are desirable.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast text serif, optimized for strong presence and refined detail. Its sharp, bracketed serifs and confident stroke modulation suggest an emphasis on elegance and authority in display-forward editorial use.
Lowercase forms appear compact and sturdy with clearly defined apertures and terminals; the round punctuation and the heavy periods/diacritics add to the bold typographic color. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the serif treatment stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, supporting a coherent page rhythm.
