A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flared stroke endings. Serifs read as sharply cut wedges with subtle bracketing into the stems, giving a chiseled, slightly calligraphic finish rather than a purely mechanical one. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with a compact, readable x-height and clear ascender/descender structure. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and the overall texture on the page is dark and confident with crisp, decisive terminals.
It performs especially well in display sizes for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where its contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It also fits editorial and book-oriented applications—magazines, literary branding, and formal communications—where a classic serif voice is desired.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting seriousness and authority. Its sharp flares and strong contrast add a refined, slightly dramatic character that feels suited to established institutions and literary contexts rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif proportions with more sculpted, flaring terminals to create a stately, high-contrast texture that stands out in editorial and display typography while remaining familiar in structure.
The numerals show the same contrast and flared finishing, supporting cohesive use alongside text. In the sample paragraph, spacing and letterfit create a solid, headline-friendly color with clear word shapes; the overall impression is polished and traditional with a touch of theatrical elegance.
