A high-contrast display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, sharply finished terminals. The forms are generally upright with broad, open counters and generous overall width, while strokes flare into wedge-like serifs that give a carved, sculptural feel. Curves are smooth and round (notably in C, G, O, and the bowls of b/p), and joins are clean with a steady baseline and consistent cap-height. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, plus a distinct, angled beak-like terminal on e, reinforcing a lively, calligraphic rhythm within an otherwise structured, editorial build.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and prominent titling where contrast and weight can do the work. It also fits brand marks and packaging that want a traditional, upscale signal without becoming overly delicate in reproduction.
The font reads confident and attention-grabbing, with a refined, print-forward tone. Its dramatic contrast and sturdy proportions suggest prestige and authority, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable rather than severe.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic, high-contrast serif display typography: bold enough for modern layouts, with sculpted serifs and controlled curves to maintain a polished, editorial presence.
Numerals are bold and prominent, with strong contrast and large interior shapes that hold up well at headline sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample relies on the roman’s contrast and serif shaping for emphasis and hierarchy.
