This typeface presents sculpted, high-contrast letterforms with tapered strokes that swell and narrow in a calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are sharp and slightly flared, with visible bracketing and wedge-like terminals that give strokes a carved, chiseled finish. Proportions run on the wide side with generous counters and steady spacing, producing an open, confident texture in text. The lowercase shows lively modulation—single-storey “a” and “g” with pronounced ears/links, a compact “t,” and a distinctive, angled “e”—while the numerals follow the same crisp contrast and flared finishing.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other editorial display settings where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also fits book-cover titling and brand marks seeking a refined, classic voice with a crafted edge, and can work in short text passages when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone feels editorial and polished, with a classic, literary voice sharpened by dramatic contrast and crisp terminals. It suggests tradition and authority, but the flared endings and energetic curves add a slightly expressive, crafted character rather than a purely austere one.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with flared, calligraphy-influenced stroke endings, creating a formal but expressive reading voice. Its wide proportions, crisp terminals, and dramatic modulation aim to deliver strong presence for contemporary editorial and identity work.
In continuous text the strong thick–thin transitions create clear vertical rhythm, while the wide set and open apertures help prevent the style from feeling overly dense. Uppercase forms read monumental and display-ready, and the punctuation and ampersand sit comfortably alongside the sharp, sculptural detailing.
