A high-contrast serif with crisp, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared terminals that widen into the stroke endings. The letters show a calligraphic stress and noticeable stroke modulation, with tapered curves and sharp entry/exit points that keep counters clean and open. Proportions are fairly traditional, with slightly condensed caps, a moderate x-height, and a steady baseline rhythm; joins and brackets are pronounced, giving the design a sculpted, engraved feel. Numerals are lining-style in appearance with strong contrast and classic shapes (notably a pointed-top 4 and a curled 2/3), matching the serif detailing of the letters.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, book and chapter titling, magazine display typography, and cultural posters where contrast and serif detail can read clearly. It can also support refined brand identities—particularly for publishing, arts, fashion, or heritage-leaning institutions—when used at larger sizes to showcase its flared terminals and sharp serif work.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, leaning toward bookish elegance rather than minimal modernism. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast create a poised, slightly theatrical flavor suited to elevated, culturally oriented typography.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif structure with more expressive, flared stroke endings, producing a refined display voice that still feels rooted in traditional typography. The aim is likely to deliver strong typographic color and a confident, authoritative presence without resorting to heavy weight.
The italic is not shown, and the displayed roman emphasizes contrast and flare more than softness; this makes it visually striking at display sizes while retaining enough structure for short-to-medium text. Round forms (C, G, O, Q) keep generous interior space, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel crisp and tense, reinforcing a formal, editorial cadence.
