A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sturdy, slightly expanded proportions. Stems and arms taper and broaden into flared, bracketed serifs, creating a carved, chiseled feel at terminals rather than blunt slab endings. Round letters are full and steady, counters are moderately open, and curves transition into terminals with a gentle, calligraphic tension. Overall rhythm is bold and deliberate, with strong verticals and carefully controlled joins that keep the texture even in dense settings.
This design is well suited to display typography where strong serif character and contrast can be appreciated—headlines, editorial titles, book covers, and poster typography. It can also serve branding and identity systems that want a classic, authoritative voice, especially in larger sizes where the flared terminals read cleanly.
The tone is confident and traditional, with a stately, print-forward presence. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing details add a hint of drama and ceremony, reading as serious, institutional, and slightly old-world without feeling overly delicate.
The font appears intended to blend traditional serif credibility with more sculptural, flared terminals to heighten presence and impact. Its proportions and strong contrast suggest a focus on commanding titles and premium editorial settings rather than unobtrusive body text.
Uppercase forms feel monument-like and stable, while the lowercase keeps the same weighty voice with clear, assertive serifs. Numerals are robust and well-anchored, matching the text color of the letters and maintaining the same flared terminal logic across strokes.
