A crisp serif with pronounced stroke modulation and gently flared terminals, producing a calligraphic, carved feel. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like rather than slabby, with sharp, clean joins and a strong vertical emphasis. Uppercase forms are broad and stately with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows compact, well-controlled counters and a steady rhythm. Round letters (C, O, Q) are smooth and slightly tensioned, and the numerals follow the same contrasty, formal construction with sturdy stems and tapered finishing strokes.
Works especially well for headlines, subheads, and short passages where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It suits magazine and book-cover typography, premium branding, and formal announcements where a classic serif voice is desirable.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, projecting tradition and polish without feeling overly ornate. Its sharp contrast and flared endings add a subtle sense of ceremony and gravitas suited to premium or institutional voice.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with subtly flared, calligraphic finishing to create a refined display text face with strong editorial authority.
The sample text shows clear word shapes and a consistent texture, with punchy capitals and a slightly dramatic presence at display sizes. The ampersand and punctuation sit comfortably within the same formal idiom, keeping the page color cohesive.
