A robust serif with sculpted, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that creates crisp internal counters and sharp edge definition. The letterforms are generously proportioned with broad bowls and strong horizontals, while joins are smoothly bracketed, giving the design a carved, slightly calligraphic feel rather than a purely geometric construction. Lowercase shows compact, weighty bodies with rounded terminals and clear, open apertures; the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with sturdy stems and refined curves.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and display settings where its contrast and sculpted serifs can read as intentional texture. It can also work for short blocks of premium-feeling text—such as pull quotes, book jackets, and brand statements—when set with generous leading and careful spacing.
The overall tone is confident and authoritative, with a polished, high-end editorial flavor. Its strong contrast and ample width lend a sense of ceremony and prestige, making text feel deliberate and composed rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical text serif, emphasizing dramatic contrast and substantial presence for editorial and branding contexts. Its wide, weighty forms and refined serif detailing suggest a focus on impactful typography that still retains traditional credibility.
The face maintains a consistent rhythm across caps and lowercase, with especially bold, rounded shapes in letters like o, e, and g contrasted by crisp serifs and tapered strokes in diagonals such as v, w, and y. The italic is not shown; all samples present a straight, formal stance optimized for impact.
