A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and tapered, flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like serifs. Curves are generous and rounded, while joins and stroke endings sharpen into crisp points, creating a rhythmic interplay of soft bowls and angular accents. The texture is lively and slightly calligraphic in feel, with noticeable variation in stroke thickness and subtly asymmetric detailing that adds character at display sizes. Numerals and capitals carry a stately, monumental presence, while the lowercase maintains a compact, readable structure with distinctive terminals and ear-like flicks.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and short passages where its contrast and flared details can read clearly. It works particularly well in editorial layouts, poster typography, and brand marks that want a classic foundation with extra drama and sharpness.
The overall tone feels editorial and high-fashion, mixing classic bookish authority with a theatrical, attention-grabbing sharpness. Its crisp flares and dramatic contrast give it a confident, premium voice suited to titles and statements rather than quiet background text.
The font appears intended to deliver a refined, high-impact serif voice by combining traditional proportions with expressive flared stroke endings and crisp terminals. It aims to stand out in display typography while retaining a recognizably classic serif structure.
The design leans on pointed beak terminals and flared serifs that create strong directional energy, especially in diagonals and curved letters. In dense settings it produces a striking black-and-white pattern, emphasizing word shapes and punctuation with high impact.
