A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. The capitals are broad and stately with bracketed wedge-like serifs and sharp joins, while curves show a clear vertical stress and tight, polished counters. Lowercase forms keep a conventional text rhythm but add distinctive details such as ball terminals, strong beaks, and teardrop-like finials, creating a lively texture at display sizes. Numerals match the weight and contrast, with compact bowls and sharp, calligraphic terminals that reinforce the punchy, print-oriented color.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, posters, and book covers where its strong contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for brand marks and packaging that want a traditional, premium serif voice with extra impact, while longer passages will read as intentionally bold and attention-grabbing.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly theatrical presence. Its sharp contrast and sculpted terminals evoke traditional book and magazine typography while leaning into a more declarative, headline-forward voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif structure with amplified contrast and assertive weight for display-led typography. Its carefully shaped terminals and bracketed serifs suggest a goal of combining classic editorial credibility with modern punch in large-size settings.
The weight sits heavily on the main stems, so spacing and rhythm feel dense and emphatic in the sample text. Delicate hairlines and pointed serifs create crisp sparkle, especially in diagonals and cross-strokes, giving the face a refined yet forceful finish.
