A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes and flared, wedge-like terminals that give stems a subtly sculpted profile. Serifs are predominantly bracketed and pointed, with crisp joins and a rhythmic thick–thin modulation that reads as calligraphically informed rather than geometric. Uppercase forms feel stately and relatively wide in their bowls and counters (notably in C, O, Q), while lowercase maintains a steady, bookish texture with clear entry/exit strokes and compact, sturdy shoulders. Numerals are lining-style in proportion and carry the same strong contrast and tapered finishing, creating a cohesive text-and-display voice.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, book jackets, and magazine typography where contrast and refined terminals can do visual work. It can also support premium branding and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially where a classic serif voice is desired. In larger text sizes it reads confidently and retains its crisp, sculpted detailing.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting seriousness and credibility with a slightly dramatic, print-centric elegance. Its sharp terminals and lively contrast add a hint of refinement and intensity, making it feel at home in classic publishing contexts while still standing out in headlines.
The design appears intended to blend a classical serif foundation with pronounced tapering and flared stroke endings to create a distinctive, elegant presence. It prioritizes strong contrast and sharp finishing for impact in display and editorial settings while keeping proportions balanced enough to remain readable in continuous text.
In the sample text, the font forms a bold, even word image with pronounced vertical emphasis and clear punctuation shapes, and it retains legibility as sizes increase. The pointed terminals and flared endings create distinctive silhouettes in letters like J, S, and y, which can add character but also make spacing and line breaks feel visually energetic.
