A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms are upright with a strong vertical stress, giving round letters a slightly engraved, classical feel. Counters are compact and the joins are clean, while terminals often finish in teardrop/ball shapes (notably in lowercase) that add a deliberate, sculpted rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel broad and weighty, and the overall texture is dense and commanding in paragraphs.
Best suited to headlines, deck text, and pull quotes where its contrast and dense color can read as intentional and prestigious. It also fits editorial identities, book and magazine covers, and branding applications that benefit from a classic, formal serif voice. In longer settings it will appear bold and emphatic, working well when strong typographic presence is desired.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking editorial gravitas and old-style refinement rather than casual friendliness. Its sharp contrast and confident serifs convey seriousness and a slightly dramatic, high-end sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif foundation with elevated contrast and ornamental terminal details, balancing traditional readability cues with a more display-forward, dramatic weight and rhythm.
In the sample text, the heavy stems and tight interior spaces create a strong black presence, especially at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals appear designed to hold their own in headline settings, while the lowercase maintains a disciplined, typographic cadence with distinctive ball-terminal details.
