A high-contrast serif with sturdy vertical stems and sharply tapered curves. Serifs are bracketed and often flare subtly out of the main strokes, while many terminals finish in rounded, teardrop-like shapes that soften the otherwise crisp construction. Counters are generous and fairly open, and the type shows a lively rhythm where curved letters swell and pinch noticeably. Uppercase forms feel stately and weighty, while the lowercase maintains clear, traditional proportions with a moderate x-height and pronounced ascenders/descenders.
This face is well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book cover titling where high contrast and confident serifs can carry a page. It can also work for premium branding and formal print pieces such as invitations or certificates, especially at display sizes where the flared details and terminals remain crisp and intentional.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic presence typical of serious print typography. Its flared stroke endings and pronounced contrast add a touch of heritage and ceremony, making it feel formal without becoming overly delicate.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif authority with expressive, calligraphic modulation—using flared endings and teardrop terminals to add warmth and distinction while keeping a solid, readable structure.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V, W, Y, and X) show strong tapering, and the numerals share the same calligraphic contrast and softened terminals. The boldness and contrast create a distinct texture in paragraphs, with a clear dark color and noticeable stroke modulation that rewards comfortable line spacing.
