A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a distinctly sculpted, flared finish where strokes broaden into wedge-like terminals. Serifs are crisp and often triangular with subtle bracketing, giving edges a carved, chiseled feel rather than a blunt slab. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a steady vertical stress; curves (C, O, S) show clean thinning into fine tips, while diagonals (V, W, Y) end in pointed, ink-trap-free wedges. Numerals and capitals have a dignified, bookish rhythm, and the lowercase maintains clear, compact forms with traditional details like a two-storey “g” and a crisp ear on “r.”
Well-suited to editorial design such as book interiors, magazine features, and cultured headline work where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also support branding for luxury, arts, and heritage contexts, and performs nicely in formal collateral like invitations or certificates when set with comfortable size and leading.
The overall tone is authoritative and polished, leaning toward traditional publishing and cultural institutions. Its sharp contrast and flared terminals add a subtle dramatic edge, suggesting a premium, classical voice rather than a neutral utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif tradition with a more sculptural, flared terminal treatment, producing a refined face that feels premium and expressive without becoming decorative. It prioritizes elegance, typographic color, and a confident, formal voice for display and editorial settings.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes, while maintaining an orderly baseline and consistent spacing. The cap forms read stately and composed, with a slightly monumental presence that can elevate headlines and titling.
