A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that read as sharply cut yet softly bracketed. The letterforms show a pronounced thick–thin rhythm with relatively narrow hairlines, crisp apexes, and tapered joins that suggest a calligraphic logic. Capitals are broad and stately with prominent serifs and strong vertical stress; round letters (C, O, Q) feel full and slightly oval. Lowercase features a moderate x-height, compact counters, and lively details such as angled arms, distinct ear/terminal shapes, and a single-storey “g” with a pronounced ear and loop. Numerals follow the same contrast and terminal treatment, producing a cohesive, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, editorial layouts, and display applications where its high-contrast modeling and flared terminals can carry a strong voice. It should perform well for magazine titles, book covers, cultural posters, and brand marks that need a classic serif with extra bite and sculptural character.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and refinement with a slightly dramatic, engraved feel. Its sharp contrasts and flared terminals give it a confident, headline-ready presence that can also evoke bookish, institutional credibility.
Likely designed to reinterpret classic serif proportions with a more sculpted, flared-terminal finish, balancing traditional authority with a heightened, display-oriented contrast. The consistent wedge/bracket behavior across letters and figures suggests an intention to deliver a cohesive, refined texture for prominent typographic use.
Spacing and rhythm look intentionally varied, with strong black shapes and clear internal counterforms that create a punchy typographic color. The flared endings and wedge serifs help maintain definition at larger sizes, while the thinnest strokes and sharp terminals suggest it will look best where detail can be appreciated.
