A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals and bracketed joins that give the strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Vertical stems are firm and dominant while hairlines stay fine, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm. Serifs tend to taper into wedge-like endings rather than flat slabs, and curves show controlled modulation with smooth transitions. Proportions read generous and open, with a slightly relaxed set that supports prominent word shapes in both caps and lowercase.
Well suited for headlines, deck type, and other editorial settings where contrast and serif detailing can carry personality. It can work effectively for book covers and premium branding that want a classical foundation with a contemporary edge. Best results will come at medium-to-large sizes where the hairlines and flared terminals stay crisp.
The overall tone is editorial and cultivated, balancing traditional bookish manners with a sharper, more theatrical contrast. It feels confident and authoritative without becoming cold, suggesting heritage and craft. The flared details add a hint of classical inscription and fashion sensibility, making the texture feel intentional and polished.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with expressive, flared finishing, producing a refined display-text hybrid that feels both literary and modern. Its measured proportions and consistent modulation suggest a focus on elegant reading rhythm while preserving enough drama for titles and identity work.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and crisp hairlines produce a bright, high-definition color that rewards good reproduction. The uppercase forms appear stately and formal, while the lowercase maintains clear, readable silhouettes with a slightly more organic, pen-influenced finish at terminals and joins. Numerals follow the same contrast logic and look suited to display sizing where their sculpted details remain visible.
