A strongly sculpted serif with pronounced contrast and energetic, flared stroke terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. Serifs are sharply cut and often triangular, with curved, bracketed joins that give the forms a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a mechanical one. Counters are generous and round in letters like O and Q, while horizontals and hairlines taper quickly, creating a crisp light–dark rhythm. Lowercase shows compact, sturdy construction with a two-storey a, a tightly looped g, and a pointed, angled tail on y; figures follow the same contrast and flare, producing assertive, display-leaning numerals.
Best suited to headlines and large-size typography where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It fits editorial layouts, book and magazine titling, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks seeking a refined, classical tone with extra punch. For body copy it can work at comfortable sizes, but it reads most distinctive when given room and scale.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial voice. Its dramatic contrast and sharp terminals add a sense of sophistication and seriousness, evoking bookish and institutional contexts while still feeling lively due to the flared, brush-like shaping.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif conventions with a more dynamic, flared stroke logic, creating a confident display serif that still feels rooted in literary typography. Emphasis is placed on dramatic light–dark rhythm, sharp terminals, and sculpted joins to deliver strong presence in titles and branding.
Round letters (C, G, O) emphasize smooth interior curves against abrupt exterior cuts, and diagonals (V, W, X) end in crisp wedge terminals that read cleanly at larger sizes. Spacing appears moderate-to-open for a serif of this weight, supporting dense words without collapsing the counters in the sample text.
