A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a carved, chiseled feel. Stems are sturdy and vertical while transitions into thin hairlines are sharp, producing crisp internal counters and a strong light–dark rhythm. Capitals are tall and commanding with classical proportions; the lowercase is compact with firm, rounded bowls and tightly controlled joins. Numerals and punctuation match the same flared, tapered logic, reading as robust display forms with clear, stable silhouettes.
This font is well suited to headlines, cover typography, mastheads, and title treatments where strong contrast and sculpted serifs can carry the design. It can also work for short editorial passages, pull quotes, and packaging or identity work aiming for a classic, prestigious voice.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, projecting tradition, authority, and a slightly theatrical sharpness. Its strong contrast and flared terminals lend a dignified, old-world character suited to prestige contexts rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif idiom by combining sturdy vertical structure with dramatic contrast and flared, bracketed finishing. It prioritizes impact and elegance, emphasizing sharp transitions and a carved, print-forward texture.
In text settings the weight and contrast create a pronounced texture, with prominent vertical emphasis and crisp serifs that remain visually active. The design reads best when given breathing room, where the flared endings and hairlines can articulate without crowding.
