A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals, tapered hairlines, and clearly bracketed wedge serifs that give the forms a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish. Proportions run on the broad side with generous capitals and open counters, producing a steady, readable rhythm. Joins and terminals are crisp rather than rounded, and the stroke modulation is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, keeping the overall color even at larger text sizes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and book-cover typography where strong contrast and broad proportions help create impact. It can also serve in editorial layouts and branded materials that want a traditional, serious voice, especially when set with comfortable spacing.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in traditional publishing. Its bold presence reads as confident and declarative, while the refined contrast and serif shaping add a touch of polish and ceremony.
The design appears intended as a conventional, publication-oriented serif with elevated contrast and robust presence—aimed at delivering classic authority and strong typographic color while remaining familiar and readable in real text settings.
Capitals have a strong, poster-ready stance, while the lowercase maintains familiar text-serif construction that supports continuous reading. Numerals are weighty and clear, matching the letterforms’ contrast and serif treatment for cohesive setting in headings and mixed text.
