A high-contrast serif with sharp, chiseled detailing and pronounced stroke modulation. Serifs read as flared and wedge-like with a lightly calligraphic, carved finish rather than flat slabs, and joins often taper into pointed terminals. The uppercase feels stately and slightly angular, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and a modest x-height with clear ascender/descender presence. Overall rhythm is lively, with subtly uneven widths across glyphs that create a varied, hand-influenced texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where its sharp serifs and strong contrast can be appreciated at size. It also works for editorial accents—pull quotes, section openers, and titling—where a classic, authoritative voice is desired. For longer passages, it benefits from generous size and spacing to keep the lively texture comfortable to read.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with a touch of theatrical drama. Its crisp, sculptural terminals and strong contrast suggest tradition and authority, while the slight irregularity in rhythm keeps it warm and human rather than austere.
The design appears aimed at delivering an old-style, calligraphically informed serif with a dramatic, carved presence. It prioritizes character and historical flavor—through flared serifs, tapered terminals, and lively proportions—while maintaining a clear, upright structure for formal setting.
In running text, the contrast and pointed terminals create strong sparkle and distinct word shapes, especially in capitals and diagonals. Numerals echo the same carved, high-contrast construction, pairing well with display settings and emphatic typography.
