A compact, high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and sharply cut, wedge-like serifs. Vertical stems are strong and straight, while curves are tightly drawn, creating crisp counters and a slightly condensed rhythm. The design balances razor-thin hairlines against weighty main strokes, with pointed joins and angular details that give letters a carved, sculptural feel. Numerals follow the same logic, combining sturdy stems with fine connecting strokes and crisp terminals for a consistent, engraved appearance.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine titling, and book-cover typography where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also serve in premium branding or packaging that needs a classical, authoritative voice, especially when used at display sizes with comfortable tracking and leading.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, evoking editorial and bookish refinement with a slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast lend a sense of ceremony and gravitas, making text feel intentional and composed rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, classical serif voice with heightened contrast and distinctive flared terminals, offering an engraved, sculpted texture that reads as premium and emphatic in display typography.
At larger sizes the thin hairlines and small inner spaces become part of the character, emphasizing sparkle and contrast; at smaller sizes the tight proportions and fine strokes may require generous sizing and spacing to keep forms from feeling dense. The flared endings and pointed serifs create a distinctive texture that stands out in display settings.
