A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced wedge-like terminals. The design shows strong thick–thin transitions, crisp joins, and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than purely mechanical. Counters are generally open, with a compact, robust color in text and slightly lively, calligraphic modulation across curves and diagonals. Overall proportions read as traditional and bookish, with sturdy capitals and compact lowercase forms that keep a steady rhythm despite the dramatic contrast.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium passages where strong contrast and flared serifs can shine. It works well in editorial layouts, book and magazine titling, and brand identities seeking a classic, elevated voice. For long text, it will be most comfortable when given adequate size and spacing to preserve clarity of its sharp details.
