A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and distinctly bracketed joins. Vertical stems are robust while hairlines stay sharp, creating strong light–dark rhythm and crisp interior counters. Serifs read as tapered wedges rather than slabs, with lively curvature where strokes transition into terminals. Proportions feel traditional and slightly condensed in places, while spacing remains open enough for prominent display sizes.
Best suited to display and editorial typography where contrast and flare can read clearly—magazine headlines, book covers, cultural posters, and premium branding. It can also work for short text passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable leading and not too small.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a dramatic, print-forward presence. Its sharp contrast and carved terminals give it a refined, editorial character that can feel both formal and slightly theatrical depending on setting.
Designed to evoke a traditional serif voice while adding energy through flared stroke endings and sharp contrast. The intent appears to balance classic readability with a distinctive, carved silhouette that stands out in title and headline contexts.
Uppercase forms show confident, steady capitals and crisp diagonals, while lowercase keeps a conventional, readable structure with pronounced contrast and firm terminals. Numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the text’s stately rhythm in headlines.
