A high-contrast serif with strongly flared terminals and bracketed serifs that give the strokes a sculpted, tapered finish. Round letters show pinched joins and wedge-like inner counters, while straights end in broad, curved feet and sharp beaks. Proportions feel generous and open, with a steady, upright rhythm; lowercase forms remain clear and sturdy despite the thin hairlines and pronounced swelling in the main strokes. Numerals follow the same engraved, flaring logic with bold bodies and crisp, tapered details.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, and other editorial settings where contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially where a classic-but-bold voice is needed, while longer text will benefit from comfortable sizing and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, combining a classic, bookish sophistication with a slightly flamboyant, display-forward swagger. It reads as premium and traditional, with enough contrast and carving to feel dramatic rather than quiet.
The type appears designed to deliver a distinctive, high-impact serif voice that feels traditional yet visually energized through flared endings and sharply modeled contrast. It prioritizes presence and character in display and editorial contexts while maintaining recognizable, readable letterforms.
The design leans on tension between thick bowls and very fine connecting strokes, creating crisp sparkle in text. Curved terminals and pointed spur details show up repeatedly, reinforcing a consistent, chiseled signature across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
