A high-contrast serif with sculpted, slightly flared terminals and sharp, tapered joins. Strokes transition quickly from thick to hairline, producing a crisp, chiseled rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Serifs read as braced and wedge-like rather than slabby, and many curves resolve into pointed, calligraphic-looking terminals (notably in C, G, S, a, c, e). The uppercase shows confident, stable proportions with prominent horizontals, while the lowercase maintains a traditional book-ish construction with a two-storey a and a single-storey g; counters are moderately open and spacing feels generously set for display clarity.
Best suited for headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where contrast and sculpted details can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefits from a formal, literary voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes with comfortable leading.
The font conveys an editorial, classical tone with a sense of authority and polish. Its sharp contrast and flared endings add drama and sophistication, suggesting heritage and seriousness rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a more sculptural, flared finishing, creating a distinctive display texture that remains rooted in classic proportions. It aims for elegance and impact through pronounced contrast, crisp terminals, and disciplined, upright letterforms.
In text, the strong thick-thin modulation creates lively texture and pronounced sparkle at smaller details like crossbars and serifs. Numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the uppercase’s formal stance; the overall impression favors refined headlines and carefully set typography over utilitarian UI reading.
