A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that often end in slightly cupped, wedge-like terminals. Curves are generously modeled and the bowls read full and round, while joins and arms sharpen into tapered points that accentuate the contrast. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy proportions with a single-storey “g,” rounded i/j dots, and a mix of flat and subtly angled terminals; numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style-influenced rhythm with lively curves and angled stress.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and sculpted serifs can read as intentional detail. It can also support premium editorial design, book and cultural cover work, and brand wordmarks that want a classic serif voice with extra punch.
The tone is confident and traditional, with a distinctly editorial gravity. Its sharp, high-contrast detailing adds a hint of drama, while the substantial stems keep it grounded and emphatic, suggesting seriousness and polish rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and sharpened terminals for impact. It aims to balance classic readability cues—bracketed serifs and traditional proportions—with a more theatrical, display-leaning finish.
In text, the strong contrast and animated terminals create a lively texture that looks especially striking at display sizes. The heavier serifs and firm verticals help maintain presence and clarity, while the variable character widths give lines a slightly calligraphic, crafted cadence.
