A sturdy serif with pronounced contrast and a distinctly sculpted, flared construction: stems broaden toward the terminals and resolve into sharp, triangular serifs with visible bracketing. Curves are generous and smooth, while joins and inner corners show crisp, slightly “cut” shaping that reads like carved or inked forms rather than purely geometric drawing. The lowercase is compact and weighty with clear counters; ascenders are tall and confident, and the italicless (roman) posture keeps a steady, vertical rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same assertive weight, with tightly controlled apertures and a consistent, chiseled terminal language across rounds and diagonals.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where the sharp flared terminals can contribute character and hierarchy. It also fits editorial and publishing contexts such as book covers and magazine typography, especially where a classic, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is formal and traditional, with a bookish, editorial seriousness. Its sharp, flared endings and high-contrast strokes add a sense of ceremony and authority, giving text a refined, slightly dramatic presence suited to premium publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif voice by emphasizing flared, chiseled terminals and strong contrast for impact. It aims for a confident typographic color that reads as literary and premium, while remaining structured enough for extended editorial use at larger text sizes.
At display sizes the pointed serifs and cut-like joins become a key identifying detail, adding texture and sparkle without turning ornamental. The rhythm stays even in continuous text, though the dense color and tight apertures suggest it will feel most comfortable with a bit of breathing room in tracking and leading.
