A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and strongly bracketed joins that give the strokes a chiseled, calligraphic feel. Vertical stems carry substantial weight, while hairlines and cross-strokes taper sharply, producing a crisp light–dark rhythm. Serifs read as wedge-like and slightly flared rather than flat, with smooth curvature into stems; counters are generous and the overall color is dense but controlled. Proportions lean traditional, with sturdy capitals and lowercase forms that keep a steady baseline and clear, slightly compact apertures.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine mastheads, book covers, and poster titling where its high contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and formal invitations when used with ample size and spacing to preserve the fine details.
The font conveys a confident, editorial tone—classic and authoritative with a touch of theatrical drama from its pronounced contrast and flared endings. It feels suited to refined, tradition-forward communication rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif model with pronounced contrast and expressive flaring, creating an elegant but commanding texture for editorial and display contexts. Its consistent sculpting and bracketed transitions suggest a focus on refined, high-impact reading at larger sizes.
The sample text shows strong word-shape definition at display sizes, with sharp detailing in junctions and terminals that becomes a key part of the texture. Numerals and capitals appear designed to carry the same engraved, wedge-serif character, keeping a consistent, formal voice across text and headlines.
