A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and sharply tapered joins that give the strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves are round and generous, while horizontals stay thin and crisp, creating a clear thick–thin rhythm across both roman capitals and lowercase. Serifs read as finely bracketed and often wedge-like, with pronounced flare where stems meet terminals; counters are open and the overall spacing feels deliberate, supporting smooth text color at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare behavior, with elegant curves and small, sharp finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines and other prominent typographic moments where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also fits editorial design and book-cover typography, and can work for short text passages when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a classic, bookish authority and a touch of drama from the strong contrast and pointed finishing details. It suggests tradition and craft—suited to contexts that want elegance without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a more sculptural, flared-stem treatment, producing a typeface that feels traditional yet characterful. Its emphasis on contrast, crisp terminals, and elegant curvature points to display-forward typography for refined branding and publishing contexts.
Capitals present a stately, inscriptional presence, while the lowercase keeps a lively rhythm through tapered arms and subtly varied terminal shapes. The design’s crisp joins and thin hairlines become especially prominent in larger settings, where the flared endings read as a distinctive signature detail.
