A sculpted serif with strong thick–thin modulation and tapered stems that swell into flared, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are sharply bracketed and often feel carved rather than purely straight, giving many joins a chiseled, calligraphic snap. Counters are generous and rounded, while verticals dominate the rhythm; diagonals and curves show pronounced contrast and crisp edges. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with a two-storey g, a hook-tailed j, and an ear on the g that adds a distinctive, slightly baroque texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with round forms that feel weighty and sharply finished at terminals.
Best suited to display sizes where the sharp contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—headlines, magazine/editorial typography, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes and section headers, where its strong rhythm and distinctive terminals provide emphasis.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, mixing classic bookish authority with fashion-like punch. Its sharp terminals and sculpted contrasts lend a confident, premium voice that reads as formal, curated, and slightly dramatic rather than casual.
The likely intention is to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, carved endings—combining traditional editorial legitimacy with a more stylized, attention-grabbing finish for modern display use.
The design emphasizes vertical stress and crisp silhouettes, so it holds a strong presence even in short words. Round letters (C, O, G, Q) show pronounced thinning at transitions, and several glyphs introduce tasteful flourish in terminals that adds personality without becoming ornamental.
