A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flaring terminals that give many strokes a chiseled, inked-in feel. Serifs are sharply defined and often wedge-like, with a subtle bracket that helps connect them to the stems. Counters are compact and the curves show controlled tension, while joins and stroke endings frequently narrow to points, creating crisp sparkle at display sizes. The lowercase has sturdy, rounded forms with a moderate x-height and noticeable weight concentration in the verticals; numerals follow the same high-contrast, flared logic for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and other display roles where the high-contrast modeling and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for editorial typography, book covers, and branding that calls for a classic serif voice with extra bite and presence.
The overall tone is traditional and commanding, with an editorial seriousness that feels suited to established institutions and print culture. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a slightly theatrical edge, giving headlines a sense of drama without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif foundation with added energy through tapered flares and sharply articulated terminals. The intent appears to balance familiarity and authority with a more expressive, crafted stroke finish for impactful display typography.
In text settings the letterforms produce a lively rhythm, with bright highlights from the sharp serifs and tapered joins. The flare at terminals and the tight inner spaces can make it feel dense at smaller sizes, while larger sizes emphasize its crisp detailing and confident stance.
