A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flared stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into wedge-like terminals, giving the outlines a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a purely rational construction. Curves are generous and full, counters are relatively open, and the joins show subtle swelling where strokes meet, reinforcing a chiseled rhythm. Overall proportions lean toward sturdy capitals and compact, weighty lowercase with clearly defined bowls and distinct, tapered arms.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, book covers, cultural posters, and identity wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers where a strong, classic serif voice is desired.
The font reads as confident and traditional with a dramatic edge, evoking bookish authority and upscale editorial taste. Its sharp terminals and swelling joins add a slightly theatrical, headline-forward personality while staying firmly in a classic serif register.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif credibility with a more expressive, flared-terminal finish, producing a stately yet energetic texture for attention-catching typography.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create lively texture and a crisp silhouette, especially in round letters and diagonals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, wedge-terminal logic, with ample presence suited to display settings.
