A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapering strokes and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving terminals a sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than a slab-like block. The capitals read broad and steady with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and tight apertures that create a dense, confident texture. Numerals are weighty and upright, with clear, traditional forms and strong baseline presence.
This font is well suited to headlines, deck copy, posters, and cover typography where strong contrast and a dark typographic color are desirable. It can also work for editorial branding and display pull quotes, especially in print-like layouts where its refined hairlines and bracketed serifs can be appreciated at moderate to large sizes.
The overall tone is formal and assertive, with a slightly dramatic, print-forward character. It evokes classic editorial typography and institutional seriousness, balancing refinement (thin hairlines) with visual force (heavy main stems).
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for impactful reading and display—aiming for traditional authority while remaining visually energetic through sharp tapering and sculpted terminals.
In the sample text, the dense rhythm and tight interior counters create a dark color at larger sizes, emphasizing headlines and short passages. The design’s sharp joins and tapered details are most noticeable in letters like S, a, e, and s, which contribute to a distinctly classical, engraved-feeling finish.
