A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals, tapered joins, and crisply bracketed, slightly flared terminals that create a chiseled, sculptural silhouette. Curves are smooth and full, while stroke endings often resolve into beak-like points, giving letters a sharp finish without becoming brittle. Proportions feel traditional with generous capitals, compact lowercase counters, and a consistent rhythm that stays readable at display sizes while retaining fine details.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and pointed terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for magazine and book-cover typography, and for brand marks or packaging that need a classic, authoritative serif presence.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, projecting formality and confidence with a hint of dramatic flair. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast evoke traditional print typography and lend a serious, established voice.
Designed to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and sharpened, flared finishing strokes, balancing classic proportions with a more theatrical, attention-grabbing edge for display typography.
The sample text shows strong word-shape definition and clear separation between thick stems and hairline connections, with a slightly condensed feel in some forms due to tight inner counters. Numerals follow the same contrast and terminal logic, reading as classic and display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
