A sculpted serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and softly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with crisp, tapered joins and a controlled, upright stance. Proportions are expansive, giving capitals broad footprints and generous interior space, while lowercase forms keep an open, readable rhythm with rounded bowls and clean, slightly calligraphic curves. The figures follow the same chiseled, flared logic, producing a cohesive, inscription-like texture in text.
Well suited to editorial design, book jackets, and cultured branding where a refined serif voice is desired. It performs especially well in display sizes for headlines and pull quotes, and can also serve as a distinctive text face when ample spacing and comfortable measure are available.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an old-world elegance that reads as cultivated and authoritative. Its sharp tapers and flared endings add a touch of ceremony and drama without tipping into overt ornamentation.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif tradition with a flared, chiseled finishing, producing a face that feels simultaneously scholarly and display-ready. Its wide proportions and sculptural terminals suggest an emphasis on presence and typographic character in titles and editorial settings.
In paragraphs, the wide set and prominent terminals create a distinctive horizontal flow and a stately cadence. The letterforms maintain strong contrast and crisp edges, which helps headings feel polished and premium while preserving clarity in larger text settings.
