A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals and gently bracketed serifs that broaden from the stems rather than ending abruptly. Curves are smooth and well-tensioned, with teardrop-like stroke endings in places and a distinctly calligraphic modulation through bowls and joins. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in their internal spaces, while the lowercase shows lively asymmetry (notably in a, e, g, and y) and a strong rhythm across word shapes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with bold verticals, delicate hairlines, and sharp, clean apexes.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial passages where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also serve effectively for book covers, cultural branding, and premium packaging, especially when paired with a restrained sans for supporting text.
The tone is polished and traditional, evoking book typography and formal editorial settings. Its flared finishing and sharp contrast add a subtle dramatic edge, lending a sense of ceremony and authority without becoming ornate.
This design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more expressive, flared finishing that nods to calligraphic construction. The goal seems to be a text-rooted voice that scales into strong display typography, providing both tradition and a distinct, sculptural personality.
At display sizes the crisp hairlines and pronounced stroke modulation read as elegant and energetic; in dense settings the dark vertical emphasis can feel weighty, making careful sizing and spacing important. The sample shows strong headline presence with clear letter differentiation and a confident, classic texture.
