A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, flared construction: main strokes feel chiseled and slightly swelling into stroke endings rather than terminating in blocky slabs. Serifs are fine and pointed, with crisp triangular and wedge-like joins that create a cut, engraved look. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in C, O, and S), while diagonals and vertices (A, V, W, X, Y) come to narrow, sharp apexes. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure with a modest x-height, compact bowls, and narrow apertures; terminals on letters like a, c, e, and s taper cleanly, reinforcing the refined rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where contrast and crisp wedge details can be appreciated. It would also fit book and magazine covers, cultural branding, and refined packaging where a classic serif voice with a sculpted finish supports a premium message.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining classical serif formality with a slightly theatrical edge from the sharp wedges and pronounced contrast. It reads as premium and composed, suggesting authority and taste without becoming overly ornate.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif reading of elegance while differentiating itself through flared, wedge-like stroke endings and sharply finished serifs. The intention appears to balance traditional proportions with a more carved, high-definition silhouette for impactful display and editorial use.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and fine details remain prominent at display sizes, while the flared stroke behavior adds a distinctive, carved character compared with more purely bracketed serifs. Numerals show the same sharp wedge logic and contrast, giving figures a similarly formal, editorial presence.
