A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, sculpted main stems. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, creating crisp entry and exit strokes while maintaining a traditional text rhythm. Bowls and counters are compact and rounded, with frequent teardrop and ball-like terminals that add a slightly mannered, calligraphic finish. The overall color is dark and authoritative, with variable letter widths and lively stroke modulation that remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This face is well suited to headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and other editorial applications where strong contrast and a dark typographic color can be used intentionally. It also fits branding and packaging that call for a classic serif voice with distinctive, decorative finishing at display sizes.
The tone is classical and editorial, projecting authority and polish with a touch of drama. Its strong thick–thin contrast and decorative terminals give it a refined, slightly theatrical presence suited to display-forward typography.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional serif structure with pronounced contrast and expressive terminals, delivering a classic reading heritage while increasing visual impact for contemporary editorial and branding use.
Lowercase forms show pronounced terminal shaping (notably in letters like a, c, e, f, j, and y), which increases personality and texture in larger settings. Numerals carry the same contrast and serif treatment, with curving details that feel cohesive with the letterforms.
