A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered, flared stroke endings and finely bracketed wedge-like serifs. The forms show a strong vertical stress and crisp, pointed terminals, with hairline joins that stay clean even at larger display sizes. Capitals are stately and fairly wide, while the lowercase is compact and rhythmic, with distinctive entry/exit strokes that add a slightly calligraphic snap. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare, with a crisp, old-world elegance and clear figure shapes.
This face is well suited to headlines, book and magazine typography, and upscale branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for short-to-medium text passages when a refined, high-contrast texture is acceptable, particularly in print-oriented layouts.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication. Its sharp terminals and sculpted contrast give it a poised, slightly dramatic presence that feels at home in classic publishing and premium branding.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with pronounced flaring and sharp terminals, creating a distinctive, carved finish that elevates display typography while retaining a structured, editorial reading rhythm.
Letterforms exhibit consistent flare behavior at stroke ends, creating a chiseled look without becoming a slab. Round letters maintain tight apertures and controlled curves, contributing to a measured, formal texture in paragraph-like settings.
