A sculpted serif with strong thick–thin modulation and pronounced wedge-like, bracketed terminals. Serifs and stroke endings often flare into sharp points or teardrop forms, creating a lively, carved look rather than a strictly calligraphic one. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and slightly wide with confident verticals, while lowercase forms show distinctive, sometimes swashy details (notably in curves and tails) that add texture in text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, stylized construction with bold, graphic silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, book covers, and magazine or editorial titling where its high-contrast modeling and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and display packaging that benefits from a classic-but-unusual serif voice; longer text will read more stylistically textured and attention-forward than neutral.
The overall tone is dramatic and editorial, with a hint of whimsy from the pointed terminals and expressive curves. It reads as classic and bookish at a glance, but the sharpened details and theatrical rhythm give it a more decorative, attention-getting personality.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif foundation with heightened drama and decorative edge, combining classic contrast with pointed, sculptural terminals to stand out in display settings.
The design emphasizes crisp joins and energetic curvature, producing strong word shapes and high visual contrast across lines. Its distinctive terminals and variable letter shapes create a pronounced texture that becomes more characterful as size increases.
