This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with vertical stress and sharply defined, sculpted details. Stems and main strokes feel sturdy while tapering into flared, bracketed terminals that read as calligraphically informed rather than purely geometric. Serifs are crisp and controlled, with a slightly wedge-like energy on capitals and a compact, purposeful rhythm in the lowercase. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are relatively generous, and numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, producing an overall polished, print-oriented texture.
It works especially well for editorial typography—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section titles—where contrast and crisp serifs can carry personality. It’s also well-suited to book covers, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic yet distinctive serif voice.
The tone is refined and authoritative, pairing classical bookish cues with a more dramatic, fashion-adjacent contrast. It feels formal and composed, yet lively enough to add emphasis and sophistication in display settings.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with expressive flared terminals and high contrast, creating a typeface that feels both classical and attention-getting. Its details suggest a focus on elegance and impact, particularly for prominent typography in print and brand-led applications.
In text, the strong contrast and sharp joins create a bright, high-definition page color, with capitals carrying a stately presence. The ‘g’ and ‘y’ introduce noticeable calligraphic movement through their terminals, reinforcing the flared, carved quality across the set.
