A sculpted, high-contrast serif with wedge-like, flared terminals and pronounced bracketed joins that give the strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves are generous and slightly tensioned, while verticals read strong and steady; the overall rhythm is lively due to subtle stroke swelling and distinctive terminal shaping. Serifs tend to taper into sharp, triangular points rather than sit as flat slabs, and several letters show pointed, beak-like terminals that add bite and clarity at display sizes. Figures are sturdy and classical, with strong contrast and decorative finishing that matches the letterforms.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine and newspaper headlines, book jackets, cultural posters, and brand marks needing a classic-but-expressive voice. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes where its sharp terminals and contrast can be appreciated without crowding.
The tone is confident and editorial, combining traditional bookish manners with a more dramatic, expressive edge. It feels formal and authoritative, yet energetic—suited to headlines that want gravitas without looking purely conservative.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif proportions with flared, wedge-like finishing and sculptural contrast, creating a refined display face that reads traditional at a glance but stands out through energetic terminals and lively stroke modulation.
In the sample text, the heavy contrast and sharp terminals create a crisp, slightly theatrical texture, especially in diagonals and curved joins. Some lowercase forms carry distinctive, pointed finishing that adds personality and a faintly antiquarian flavor to the overall color.
