A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and bracketed transitions that give the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves are generous and smooth, while joins and terminals stay crisp, producing a strong thick–thin rhythm throughout. Proportions read on the wide side with open counters and steady spacing, helping the design stay clear at display sizes. Numerals and capitals carry substantial presence, with sharp serifs and tapered strokes that reinforce an elegant, authoritative texture across lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, deck text, and short-to-medium passages where its contrast and sculpted detailing can be appreciated. It works well for magazine/editorial layouts, book covers, cultural institutions, and brand identities that benefit from a classic, premium voice.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting refinement and gravity without feeling overly ornate. Its pronounced contrast and flared finishing create a sense of craftsmanship and heritage, well-suited to polished, high-end communication.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif model by emphasizing flared stroke endings and a dramatic contrast, delivering a distinctive editorial presence. It aims to balance elegance with firmness, offering recognizable traditional cues while maintaining a clean, contemporary finish.
In text, the bold contrast forms a vivid stripe pattern and strong word shapes, making it especially effective when set with comfortable leading and not-too-tight tracking. The lowercase shows a clear, readable structure with a distinctly serifed, slightly calligraphic character that adds personality while remaining disciplined.
