A decorative serif with sturdy, sculpted forms and pronounced bracketed serifs that often flare into wedge-like terminals. Strokes feel carved rather than purely calligraphic, with crisp joins, rounded transitions, and a steady vertical stress that keeps the rhythm formal. Uppercase proportions are statuesque and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and distinctive, sharp-ended terminals that give words a strongly textured silhouette. Numerals are weighty and display-oriented, with prominent curves and clear, emphatic serifs.
Best suited to headlines, magazine features, pull quotes, and display typography where its sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also fits book covers, cultural posters, and brand marks seeking a classic-but-distinct voice, while longer passages benefit from larger sizes and generous leading.
The overall tone is editorial and dramatic, evoking classic book and magazine typography with a theatrical edge. Its pronounced terminals and chiseled details read as premium and intentional, leaning toward fashion, literature, and heritage branding rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction with more sculpted, wedge-like terminals and a stronger display presence. It aims to deliver a recognizable, heritage-leaning tone while staying crisp and readable in short editorial blocks.
In text settings the strong serifs and distinctive terminal shapes create a lively pattern and noticeable word texture, especially around letters like a, g, r, s, and y. The design favors headline clarity and personality over quiet page color, making spacing and size choices important for comfortable reading.
