A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed wedge-like serifs and strongly modulated strokes that swing from hairline thins to weighty stems. The capitals are tall and stately with sharp apexes and clean, vertical stress, while round letters (O, Q, C) show tightly controlled curves and fine hairline connections. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, featuring noticeable ball terminals and teardrop/rounded finishing on letters like a, c, f, and y, plus a double-storey g with a pronounced ear. Numerals are lining and sharply cut, with clear contrast and elegant hairline details that echo the caps.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, editorial decks, book covers, and promotional titles where the dramatic stroke modulation can shine. It can also work for short pull quotes or section heads in print and on the web, especially when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a refined, print-like sharpness and a slightly theatrical contrast that feels authoritative. It reads as formal and literary, suited to headlines that want polish and seriousness rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with elevated contrast for impact, combining traditional proportions with crisp detailing to create a premium, publication-oriented look.
Spacing appears even and deliberate in text, helping the strong contrast stay coherent at display sizes. The design mixes sharp, triangular entry/exit cuts with occasional rounded terminals, creating a lively rhythm without feeling ornate. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are particularly crisp, giving the face a clean, etched finish.
