This typeface presents a high-contrast serif design with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and smoothly bracketed serifs. Stems feel firm and vertical, while curves are generous and controlled, giving bowls and counters a clean, open rhythm at display sizes. The uppercase set is stately with wide, rounded forms (notably C, O, Q) and confident diagonals in V, W, and X; the Q features a pronounced, sweeping tail. Lowercase shows a traditional structure with a double-storey a, compact joins, and a low-shouldered, rounded n; the t has a small, crisp crossbar and the g appears single-storey with a curved ear. Numerals share the same contrast and finishing, with round forms on 0, 8, and 9 and a sturdy, serifed 1.
It suits editorial headlines, book and chapter titling, pull quotes, and identity work where a classic serif voice is desired. The distinctive flared terminals and crisp contrast also make it a strong choice for premium packaging, formal announcements, and cultural or institutional branding.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a literary, editorial character that suggests tradition and polish. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing add a touch of drama, making the voice feel premium and composed rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more sculpted, flared finishing that adds character without becoming ornamental. It aims to deliver a traditional, trustworthy reading presence with extra visual sparkle for prominent text settings.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and tapered terminals produce a lively light–dark texture and clear word shapes, especially in larger sizes. Round letters are notably open, and the serif treatment remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive typographic color.
