A high-contrast serif with crisp, sculpted details and subtly flared stroke endings. Vertical stems read sturdy and straight, while transitions into terminals feel tapered and chiseled, with bracketed serifs that stay sharp rather than blunt. Counters are fairly open and the overall rhythm is measured, combining refined hairlines with confident thick strokes; curves (C, G, S) show controlled modulation and pointed stress. Numerals and capitals present a dignified, print-oriented silhouette with clean edges and a slightly engraved, display-friendly finish.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits book covers and title pages, as well as branding for premium or heritage-leaning products where a classic serif voice is desired.
The tone is editorial and classical, conveying authority and polish. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast create a sense of luxury and tradition, with a confident, slightly dramatic presence that suits heritage and premium contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and refined, flared finishing, balancing readability with a decorative, high-end edge. It aims to feel timeless and authoritative while remaining visually striking in display sizes.
In text, the strong thick–thin pattern and pointed terminals add sparkle and emphasis, especially in headings. The lowercase maintains a traditional, bookish feel, while the capitals carry a stately, inscription-like weight and presence.
