This typeface presents a sharply modeled serif structure with pronounced thick–thin contrast and tapered, flared stroke endings that feel carved rather than mechanically cut. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with crisp terminals and a slightly calligraphic modulation through curves and joins. Proportions are fairly traditional, with sturdy capitals and a lowercase that reads clearly at text sizes; bowls are rounded, counters are moderately open, and diagonal strokes show a confident, chiseled finish. Numerals and capitals carry strong vertical emphasis and a polished, print-oriented rhythm.
It performs especially well in headlines, decks, and pull quotes where the sculpted contrast and flared serifs can project personality. It also suits editorial and book titling applications, and can support refined branding systems that want a classic, confident voice without feeling overly ornate.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, combining classical bookish cues with a bold, contemporary clarity. It feels composed and premium—suited to contexts that benefit from gravitas and clear typographic hierarchy.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classical serif typography—prioritizing strong contrast, crisp finishing, and flared terminals to produce a distinctive, authoritative texture in both display and text settings.
In text, the strong contrast and flared terminals create a lively shimmer and distinct word shapes, while the weight and sharp detailing keep lines looking crisp and decisive. The design leans toward display-friendly refinement, yet maintains enough structure to remain legible in longer passages when set with comfortable spacing.
