A sculpted serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs read as bracketed and subtly flared, with wedge-like terminals that give stems a carved, chiseled feel rather than flat slab endings. The proportions are traditional and bookish, with moderate aperture openings and a steady baseline rhythm; curves are smooth and controlled while joins stay crisp and high-contrast. Numerals and capitals carry a stately, engraved texture, and the lowercase keeps a compact, sturdy footprint with clear differentiation between round and vertical forms.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and editorial typography where its contrast and sculpted serifs can read clearly. It also fits book and magazine covers, luxury or heritage branding, and formal communications that benefit from a classic serif voice with added sharpness and flair.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, projecting authority and polish with a slightly dramatic, high-fashion edge. Its sharp terminals and flared finishing strokes add a sense of ceremony and seriousness, making text feel curated and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a more sculptural, flared finishing, producing an elegant face that feels both traditional and visually emphatic. Its controlled curves and crisp terminals suggest a focus on high-impact typography for editorial and display use where refinement and authority are key.
In paragraphs, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a lively sparkle at larger text sizes, while the heavier main strokes maintain presence in headlines. The design’s flared finishing and wedge terminals contribute a distinctive texture that stands out in display settings without becoming overly ornamental.
