A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, sharply cut terminals. Stems often widen into subtly flared endings, giving the forms a sculpted, calligraphic snap rather than a purely mechanical finish. Serifs are small but decisive, frequently bracketed, and the overall drawing favors open counters and clear interior shapes. Proportions read slightly expansive, with confident capitals and sturdy, well-separated lowercase that maintains a steady rhythm in text.
Best suited to editorial applications where contrast and detail can be appreciated—magazine headlines, section openers, and cover typography. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, classical voice, and can work for short-to-medium text passages when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The face projects a polished, editorial tone with a touch of theatrical contrast. Its sharp details and flared stroke endings add sophistication and a mildly formal character, suggesting tradition interpreted with a modern, print-minded crispness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and distinctive flared endings, balancing tradition with a sharper, more contemporary finish. It prioritizes expressive word shapes and a confident presence for display and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create lively word shapes and emphatic headlines, while the open counters help keep longer lines legible. Round forms show taut curves and clean joins, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) feel energetic and angular without becoming ornamental.
