A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, calligraphic construction and crisp tapering terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often knife-like, with pronounced thick-to-thin transitions that create a strong vertical rhythm. Curves are smoothly modeled and counters are generous, while joins and apexes stay sharp and controlled. The lowercase shows a traditional text-seriffed skeleton with a two-storey a, compact ear and spur details, and a slightly lively, irregular modulation that keeps it from feeling purely geometric.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where a distinctive serif texture is desired. It can work well for magazine typography, book and journal titling, and premium branding, especially when paired with a quieter sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a dramatic, print-forward presence. Its sharp serifs and elegant modulation suggest a classic, literary sensibility suited to premium editorial contexts rather than neutral utilitarian messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with elevated contrast and sharp finishing, giving familiar letterforms a more dramatic, high-end editorial character. It prioritizes elegance and impact through strong stroke modulation and carefully shaped serifs.
In display sizes the strong contrast and pointed terminals read especially crisp, while in longer lines the pronounced modulation and tapered strokes create a distinctive texture that feels intentionally expressive. Numerals and capitals appear designed to match the same formal, high-contrast voice, maintaining consistent weight distribution and a confident stance.
