A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs are bracketed and pointed rather than slabby, with crisp joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation across curves and diagonals. Proportions lean classical with sturdy caps and a moderate x-height, while counters stay open and the overall rhythm is confident and slightly dramatic.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and prominent editorial typography where its contrast and crisp terminals can shine. It also works well for book covers, magazine titles, cultural branding, and formal invitations where a refined serif presence is desired.
The tone is polished and authoritative, combining classical bookishness with a touch of display drama from its sharp terminals and flare-driven contrast. It reads as premium and traditional, suggesting heritage, culture, and editorial seriousness.
The design appears intended to evoke a classical serif voice with modern crispness: strong contrast, precise terminals, and gently flared endings that add distinction without becoming ornamental. It aims to deliver an upscale editorial texture that feels authoritative and timeless in display settings.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed details create a lively texture that rewards generous sizing and comfortable leading. Numerals and capitals feel especially stately, while the lowercase maintains legibility through clear apertures and consistent stress.
