A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared strokes and sharp, triangular serif shapes that feel carved rather than mechanically squared. Stems show pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp transitions, while curves are smooth and slightly tensioned, giving bowls and rounds a taut, controlled rhythm. Capitals are stately and open, with generous internal counters and crisp joinery; the lowercase keeps a traditional, readable structure with a moderate x-height, clear ascenders, and relatively deep, elegant descenders. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, engraved logic, with slender hairlines and sturdy main strokes that maintain clarity at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial typography where contrast and crisp detailing can be appreciated. It can also support book jackets, cultural institutions, and premium brand identities that want a classic serif voice with extra sharpness and presence.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, balancing classical bookish familiarity with a sharper, more dramatic edge. Its contrast and flared finishing details convey refinement and authority, suggesting premium publishing and cultured branding rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif model by emphasizing flared stroke endings and strong contrast, producing an engraved, high-end look that remains readable in continuous text while becoming especially distinctive in display settings.
Across both the grid and text sample, stroke endings and serifs consistently taper or flare into pointed, wedge-like forms, which creates a lively sparkle in paragraphs and a strong silhouette in headings. The rhythm favors elegance over neutrality, so spacing and contrast read best when given a bit of room and size.
