A high-contrast serif with distinctly flared, wedge-like stroke endings and crisp, tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and corners resolve into sharp points, giving many letters a subtly carved, calligraphic feel. Proportions are fairly traditional with moderate capitals and a balanced lowercase, and the overall rhythm alternates between stout verticals and fine hairlines for a lively, elegant texture. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering logic, with clear, bookish forms.
Best suited to editorial typography, book and magazine display, cultural posters, and brand identities that want a classic serif voice with extra sharpness and contrast. It will especially shine in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its flared details and crisp terminals can be appreciated.
The font reads as refined and authoritative, with a classic print sensibility and a hint of theatrical drama from its pointed terminals and strong contrast. It conveys an editorial, literary tone—formal without feeling rigid—suited to elegant, high-impact settings.
Designed to deliver a classic serif structure with a more sculpted, flared finish, combining traditional readability with a distinctive, pointed elegance for display-forward typography.
Stroke modulation is pronounced and consistent across the set, and the flared endings act as a unifying motif, functioning like restrained, stylized serifs rather than bracketed slabs. In text, the sharp terminal shapes create a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes where the delicate hairlines and pointed details remain prominent.
