This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and clearly bracketed serifs. Vertical strokes dominate with pronounced thick–thin modulation, while curves transition smoothly into tapered terminals, giving bowls and shoulders a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Capitals are broad and stately with generous interior space (notably in C, G, O, Q), and the lowercase shows a traditional, two-storey a with compact joins and sturdy stems. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern with elegant curves and sharp, well-defined terminals, maintaining a consistent rhythm across the set.
It’s well-suited to display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, book covers, section titles, and pull quotes where contrast and detail can shine. It can also support premium branding applications—logotypes, packaging, and invitations—especially where a classic serif voice is desired. For extended reading, it will perform best at comfortable text sizes and with adequate spacing to keep the contrast from feeling dense.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, projecting refinement and confidence. Its sharp contrast and flared detailing add a touch of drama, making it feel premium and traditional rather than utilitarian. In text, it reads as composed and authoritative, with a subtly expressive, engraved-like character.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more sculpted, flared finishing, creating a distinctive yet familiar voice. It aims to deliver an upscale editorial presence, balancing readability with pronounced stroke contrast and elegant detailing for impactful typography.
Word shapes are strong and stable thanks to clear vertical stress and open counters, while the sharp terminals and contrast create a vivid texture that becomes more pronounced as size increases. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright.
