A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed to unbracketed, often resolving into fine hairlines and crisp wedge-like terminals. The capitals feel sturdy and slightly condensed in their internal spaces, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls, a two-storey “a,” and compact apertures that tighten the rhythm in text. Figures appear lining with strong contrast; the “2” and “3” show expressive top strokes and curled terminals, and the “Q” has a sweeping, decorative tail.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial display where its contrast and crisp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers, heritage branding, and premium packaging, particularly when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is formal and authoritative, with a dramatic, old-world elegance that reads as traditional and institutional. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals add a slightly theatrical, display-forward sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-oriented serif voice with strong contrast and refined finishing, prioritizing presence and elegance in display and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight interior counters create a solid, emphatic texture, especially at larger sizes. Several glyphs feature distinctive ball or teardrop terminals (notably in the lowercase), which adds character without tipping into script-like behavior.
