A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and smoothly bracketed serifs that give strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Round letters show generous bowls and open counters, while vertical stems stay clean and steady, creating a crisp black–white rhythm at display sizes. Joins and curves are carefully modeled, with tapered entries and exits (notably in S, a, and g) and numerals that follow the same sharp, chiseled logic. Overall spacing reads even and deliberate, supporting large headlines with strong silhouette clarity.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, and book-cover typography where contrast and sculpted serif detail can be appreciated. It can also serve premium branding and poster work that benefits from a classical, authoritative voice, especially in short to medium text settings at larger sizes.
The tone is distinctly editorial and classical, balancing elegance with a slightly theatrical sharpness. Its contrast and flared details convey tradition, confidence, and a premium, print-forward sensibility.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif voice by pairing classic proportions with flared, chiseled terminals and strong contrast for impactful, print-like display typography.
The flaring at stroke ends and the pronounced modulation make the design feel lively despite its upright stance, while wide capitals and rounded forms help prevent it from becoming brittle. The lowercase shows a traditional text-seriffed structure, but the dramatic terminals push it toward display use.
