A high-contrast serif with sculpted, swelling strokes and crisp hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, with several letters showing teardrop/ball-like terminals that add a slightly calligraphic feel. Counters are generous and the rhythm is steady, while the overall silhouette stays robust and dark in text settings. The numerals and capitals appear sturdy and emphatic, with clear vertical stress and neatly controlled curves.
Best suited to display and editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, book covers, section openers, pull quotes, and high-impact typographic posters. It can also work for short, premium-feeling text passages when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the hairline detail.
The tone reads traditional and editorial—confident, serious, and somewhat luxurious. Its strong contrast and assertive weight give it a commanding presence suited to established institutions and print-led aesthetics. The subtle terminal details keep it from feeling sterile, adding a touch of warmth and flourish.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional text-serif voice with elevated contrast and a strong, attention-holding presence. It balances classical proportions with decorative terminal cues to feel both authoritative and distinctive on the page.
In the sample paragraph, the dense color and pronounced contrast make it most persuasive at larger sizes where the fine hairlines and bracket transitions can be appreciated. The uppercase forms feel particularly stately, and the lowercase has a slightly lively texture from its rounded terminals and curved joins.
