A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. Capitals feel stately and slightly expansive, with sharp, tapered joins and pronounced beaks on forms like C, G, and S. The lowercase combines round, full bowls with calligraphic stroke transitions; several letters show teardrop/ball terminals (notably on a, c, f, and y), giving the texture a lively, ink-trace quality. Figures are robust and clear, with the 2 and 3 featuring prominent curved terminals, and the overall rhythm reads confident and weighty at larger sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where high contrast and crisp serifs can carry personality. It also fits editorial layouts and brand applications that want a classic, literary voice, particularly at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is traditional and editorial, evoking classic book typography and headline settings with a confident, authoritative presence. Its sharp contrast and expressive terminals add a slightly dramatic, crafted feel without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with elevated contrast and refined detailing, bridging sturdy editorial practicality with a more dramatic, display-ready texture.
Spacing in the samples reads generous enough for display and short text, while the strong contrast and narrow hairlines suggest it will reward careful sizing and reproduction. The design leans on oldstyle-like, calligraphic cues in the lowercase while keeping a disciplined, upright structure throughout.
