A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and smooth, flared stroke endings that broaden into sharp, bracketed serifs. Curves are generous and round (notably in C, O, Q, and g), while verticals stay sturdy, creating a strong black presence in text. The terminals often taper into wedge-like points, and the joins feel subtly calligraphic, giving the outlines a refined, carved quality. Spacing and rhythm read as deliberate and steady, with clear letter separation and a slightly stately, headline-friendly stance.
It performs especially well in headlines and editorial settings where high-contrast modeling can add drama and hierarchy. The sturdy verticals and crisp serifs also make it a strong option for magazine typography, book covers, and brand marks seeking a classic yet assertive voice.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, blending classic bookish familiarity with a more theatrical, display-forward contrast. It feels suited to sophisticated contexts where a sense of tradition and confidence is desired, without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif: high-contrast and refined, with flared, wedge-like endings that enhance impact at larger sizes while keeping a disciplined text rhythm. It aims to balance elegance with strong tonal presence for premium editorial and brand applications.
Uppercase forms look formal and composed, while the lowercase introduces more personality through rounded bowls and distinctive terminals, helping longer passages retain texture. Numerals share the same contrast-driven modeling, maintaining a consistent color and presence alongside text.
