A high-contrast serif with bracketed, flaring terminals that broaden into wedge-like finishes, giving strokes a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel. Serifs are sharp and tapered rather than slabby, and joins show smooth modulation from thin hairlines into fuller verticals. Proportions are moderately compact with a steady rhythm, while counters remain open and clean; the lowercase shows a traditional serif structure with a two-storey a and g and teardrop-like dots. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with elegant curves and tapered ends that keep figures crisp at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where its contrast and sharp serifs can read cleanly, and to editorial settings that want a traditional, authoritative voice. It also fits book jackets, cultural branding, and formal printed materials where a refined serif presence is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a bookish authority and an editorial polish. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a touch of drama, reading as confident and slightly ceremonial rather than casual.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif tradition with flared, chiseled terminals for added personality and impact. It aims for a refined reading texture with enough sharpness and contrast to perform strongly in display typography.
Diagonal forms (notably in V/W/X/Y and the k) emphasize pointed terminals and clear thick–thin transitions, creating a lively sparkle in text. The ampersand and curved letters show pronounced swelling into terminals, reinforcing the flared character without feeling ornamental.
