A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered curves and strokes that subtly flare as they meet the terminals, creating a crisp, sculpted silhouette. Serifs read as wedge-like and often bracketed, with pointed or chamfered joins that give the letterforms a chiseled, calligraphic finish. Proportions are fairly traditional, with a moderate x-height and ample internal counters; round letters (O, Q, o) show pronounced thick–thin modulation, while verticals carry strong presence. The overall rhythm is lively, with slightly condensed gestures in some capitals and distinctive, angular details on diagonals and joins.
Best suited to display sizes where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—headlines, magazine titling, book covers, posters, and branding wordmarks that aim for a classic editorial voice. It can also serve as a text companion in short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and leading.
The tone is bookish and authoritative, combining classical dignity with a touch of theatrical sharpness. Its strong contrast and crisp terminals evoke editorial elegance—suited to work that wants to feel established, cultured, and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif construction with modern, sharpened details—using pronounced contrast and flared endings to add energy and sophistication. It prioritizes a strong typographic presence and a refined, literary character for attention-grabbing titles and polished editorial settings.
Uppercase forms feel formal and monumental, while the lowercase maintains readability through clear counters and steady spacing. Numerals are sturdy and traditional in feel, with consistent contrast and pointed finishing strokes that match the letterforms’ flared endings.
