A high-contrast serif with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and crisp, tapering terminals. The letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with a steady rhythm created by strong thick-to-thin transitions and compact sidebearings. Serifs read as finely bracketed and somewhat wedge-like, giving stems a carved, chiseled feel rather than strictly mechanical slab forms. Bowls and counters are relatively tight, and curves are smooth but taut, producing a clean, formal texture in both caps and lowercase.
This font is well suited to magazine and editorial typography, display headlines, and titles where contrast and refinement are assets. It also fits book covers and formal print materials such as invitations or programs, especially at sizes where the sharp terminals and flare can be appreciated.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, balancing classic bookish authority with a sharper, more dramatic edge. Its pointed details and contrast lend a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suitable for environments where a traditional voice should still feel stylish and current.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with a more sculptural, flared finish, combining traditional proportions with crisp, high-contrast detailing for strong presence in display and editorial settings.
In text, the face maintains a bright, crisp color with pronounced contrast that emphasizes vertical stress. Numerals and capitals appear especially stately, while lowercase details (like the ear and terminal shapes) reinforce the flared, calligraphic influence without becoming ornate.
