A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed terminals that subtly flare as strokes meet the serifs. Forms are broad and steady with generous capitals and rounded bowls, giving the design a substantial footprint on the page. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy construction with clear, slightly calligraphic modulation and firm entry/exit strokes; diagonals and joins stay clean and controlled. Numerals follow the same high-contrast rhythm, with open counters and strong vertical emphasis that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and flared serifs can carry visual hierarchy. It also fits branding, packaging, and book-cover typography that needs a classic, authoritative voice with a refined, crafted edge.
The overall tone feels editorial and traditional, projecting authority and polish without appearing delicate. Its contrast and flared finishing add a touch of drama and craftsmanship, lending a premium, headline-ready presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and expressive, flared finishing—combining traditional readability cues with a more dramatic, display-oriented silhouette.
Letterspacing appears naturally comfortable for display settings, and the sharp serifs create a vivid texture in dense lines of text. Curves and bowls remain smooth and full, while terminals keep a consistent, chiselled character across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
