A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and subtly flared, bracketed terminals that give strokes a tapered, engraved feel. Capitals are wide and steady with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and clean, slightly concave joins; round letters (C, G, O, Q) show strong contrast with crisp, controlled curves. The lowercase features a traditional, two-storey a and g, a compact e with a firm crossbar, and a narrow, upright i with a round dot; overall spacing reads even and text-color is dense but well-structured. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in rhythm (especially 3, 5, 9) with lively curves and clear contrast, matching the letterforms’ formal, print-oriented construction.
Works best for display and editorial typography such as magazine headings, book covers, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks that need a classic voice. It can support short to medium passages in print-forward layouts where strong contrast and a dark, elegant texture are desirable.
The tone is authoritative and editorial—polished, traditional, and slightly dramatic due to the strong contrast and flared finishing. It feels suited to cultured, established contexts, conveying confidence and a classic, literary sensibility without appearing ornamental.
Likely intended as a contemporary take on classical serif construction, emphasizing dramatic contrast and flared, calligraphic terminals to create a refined, print-centric voice. The goal appears to be strong presence in headlines while retaining enough typographic discipline for editorial settings.
The design shows careful stroke choreography: heavier verticals, refined hairlines, and terminals that swell rather than end abruptly, producing a warm, carved impression. In larger sizes the sharp detailing and tight curves read crisp; in dense settings the weighty forms create a strong, headline-friendly presence.
