A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and softly bracketed joins that give the letters a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Thick verticals dominate while hairline connections and terminals stay crisp, creating a strong light–dark rhythm. The capitals are broad and stately with pronounced curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase mixes sturdy bowls with energetic, tapering terminals; the overall texture is lively rather than strictly rational. Numerals match the display-forward contrast and show similarly sharp, tapered finishes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other medium-to-large settings where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for editorial design, book and magazine titling, posters, and branding that wants a classic voice with a distinctive, crafted edge.
The font reads as traditional and editorial, with a dramatic, ink-on-paper presence. Its flared, tapered detailing adds a crafted elegance that feels literary and slightly theatrical, suitable for expressive typography that still signals classic refinement.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with flared, tapering terminals to produce a bold, attention-getting texture. It aims for an expressive, display-capable serif that conveys tradition while adding visual drama through contrast and sculptural stroke shaping.
Spacing and letterforms create a dynamic, slightly irregular color at text sizes, with pointed terminals and wedge-like endings that attract attention in headings. The sample text shows strong word-shape definition and a pronounced vertical stress, with decorative moments (like the Q tail and curved terminals) that enhance character in display settings.
