A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, bracketed serifs. Thick main strokes pair with hairline transitions and pointed wedge-like terminals, creating a lively, calligraphic rhythm without leaning. Proportions read robust and slightly expanded, with compact counters in letters like a, e, and s and a sturdy, weighty color in text. The numerals and capitals share the same sharp, sculpted treatment, producing clear hierarchy and a distinctly carved silhouette.
Well suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial display where strong contrast and sharp serifs can carry a refined message. It can also work for book covers and premium branding applications that want a traditional, authoritative serif with pronounced personality.
The overall tone is assertive and classic, with an editorial seriousness and a touch of theatrical drama. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast give it a polished, high-end feel that reads as confident and slightly imposing rather than casual.
This design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with elevated contrast and sharper, more sculptural detailing, prioritizing impact and sophistication in display and editorial contexts.
In longer setting the dense strokes and tight internal spaces create a dark, impactful texture, making the type feel best when given breathing room through generous leading or moderate sizes. The design’s crisp serifs and hairline details emphasize clean reproduction and careful spacing.
