A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a distinctly sculpted, print-like rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into sharp, wedge-like terminals, with occasional ball terminals in the lowercase that add a slightly calligraphic finish. The uppercase feels tall and stately with compact counters, while the lowercase shows sturdy, rounded forms and a moderate, traditional x-height. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varied heights and extenders, reinforcing a bookish, classical texture in running text.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated—magazine headings, book covers, pull quotes, and formal titles. It can also work for short text passages in print-oriented layouts, especially when generous size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, combining a confident presence with a refined, literary character. Strong contrast and sharp terminals lend a sense of drama and authority, while the rounded lowercase details keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice with heightened contrast for impact, balancing traditional proportions with expressive terminals to stand out in contemporary editorial typography.
In the sample text, the font builds a dense, dark page color at larger sizes, with clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes. Curved letters show pronounced modulation, and several joins and terminals have a slightly inked, engraved quality that reads as traditional rather than geometric.
