A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs. Stems feel sturdy while hairlines stay fine and crisp, creating a sharp light–dark rhythm. Curves are generously rounded, counters are open, and the overall proportions lean slightly wide in the round letters, giving the face a confident presence. Terminals often taper into wedge-like shapes, and diagonals and joins read clean and deliberate, especially in capitals and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, book and magazine typography, and identity work where contrast and serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short paragraphs in print-oriented contexts, especially at sizes where the hairlines and tapered terminals remain clear.
The tone is traditional and commanding, with an editorial seriousness that suggests heritage and refinement. Its strong contrast and flared detailing add a slightly ceremonial, bookish character—more dignified than friendly, and more expressive than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with flared, sculptural terminals to create a distinctive, premium voice. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and elegant contrast for impactful reading and title-setting.
The uppercase set appears particularly stately and stable, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable texture with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals share the same sharp, tapered finishing, supporting display use where crisp silhouette and contrast matter.
