A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flared stroke endings that give the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. The serifs read as sharply bracketed and wedge-like rather than flat, with crisp terminals and pointed joins on diagonals. Proportions are sturdy and slightly condensed in places, with rounded forms (O, C) kept taut and vertical stems carrying strong emphasis; the overall rhythm is steady and high-contrast without feeling brittle.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, and cover typography where a classic serif voice with strong contrast can carry the page. It also works well for branding and packaging that needs a traditional, premium impression, and for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous spacing.
The tone is authoritative and traditional, leaning toward bookish refinement with a slightly dramatic, display-forward punch. Its crisp wedges and flared ends suggest heritage and ceremony, while the bold presence keeps it confident and attention-getting.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with flared, tapering endings to create a distinctive, carved elegance that feels both traditional and commanding. Its bold, high-contrast construction prioritizes impact and refined character in display and editorial contexts.
Lowercase shapes keep a compact, sturdy texture; bowls and shoulders are tight, and many terminals finish in tapered points that add a subtle chiseled character. Numerals are similarly weighty and sharp, reading well at larger sizes where the contrast and flaring can be appreciated.
