A sculptural serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and flared stroke endings that broaden as they approach terminals. The serifs are crisp and bracketed, with sharp, slightly calligraphic-looking joins that give the outlines a carved, high-end finish. Capitals are stately and moderately wide with generous interior counters, while the lowercase shows a sturdy rhythm with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g” with a lively ear, and a compact, slightly angled “e” aperture. Figures follow the same contrasty logic, with weight concentrated in verticals and tapered curves that keep numerals elegant but assertive.
This face shines in headlines, pull quotes, and large display settings where the contrast and flared endings can read as a deliberate stylistic feature. It’s also a strong choice for magazine and book-cover typography, and for branding that needs a traditional, premium voice with memorable letterforms.
The overall tone is editorial and classical, projecting refinement and authority with a touch of theatrical contrast. Its sharp terminals and flared endings add drama and a sense of craft, making it feel suited to premium, literature-forward typography rather than utilitarian UI text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif proportions with more sculpted, flare-driven terminals and high-contrast drawing, creating an authoritative display text face that feels both traditional and distinctive.
In text, the strong modulation creates a lively line texture and clear word shapes, especially in mixed case. The design’s flare and tapering reward larger sizes where the delicate transitions and pointed details remain clean and intentional.
