A high-contrast serif with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that read as carved rather than mechanical. The design shows sharp wedge-like terminals, tapered joins, and a dynamic modulation between thick stems and fine hairlines, giving letters a sculpted, calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and formal with controlled proportions, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and open counters for a steady text texture. Numerals match the contrast and serif treatment, keeping the overall color consistent in display-sized settings.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style headlines, editorial titling, and book-cover typography where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits identity work for institutions or premium products that want a classic, authoritative voice, and it performs nicely for pull quotes and short-form display text.
The tone is traditional and editorial, with a polished, bookish confidence. Its sharp terminals and elegant contrast add a touch of ceremony and sophistication, suggesting heritage, culture, and seriousness without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with expressive, flared terminals to create a refined display face that still maintains disciplined text-like proportions. It emphasizes contrast and crisp finishing to deliver elegance and presence in titles and prominent typography.
In the text sample, the contrast and fine details become prominent, producing a lively sparkle and strong vertical rhythm. The pointed terminals and flared endings give strokes a slightly chiseled feel that stands out in headlines and short passages, while longer setting will likely benefit from comfortable sizes and line spacing to preserve the hairlines.
