A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into wedge-like terminals. The construction feels calligraphic: curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation, joins are clean, and counters are relatively open for a sharp, refined texture. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and slightly monumental, while the lowercase maintains a traditional rhythm with clear ascenders/descenders and a compact, controlled footprint. Numerals match the text color well, keeping the same chiseled contrast and firm vertical emphasis.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where the high contrast and flared terminals can add character. It also fits editorial and book-cover typography that wants a traditional serif voice with extra sharpness and energy, and can support premium branding when used at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting tradition, seriousness, and polish. Its sharp finishing and pronounced contrast add a touch of drama, giving text a confident, authoritative presence without feeling ornamental.
Designed to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with a more sculpted, flared finish, balancing classical proportions with a sharper, more dramatic stroke economy. The intent appears to be a versatile editorial face that can move between dignified text settings and attention-getting display use.
At display sizes the strong modulation and pointed terminals read especially clearly, producing a lively, engraved-like sparkle along curves and diagonals. In longer text, the firm verticals and consistent serif treatment create an even, structured line while still retaining a distinctive flare at stroke ends.
