A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and bracketed serifs that read as carved rather than blunt. Strokes transition sharply from thick verticals to thin hairlines, giving the letters a crisp, engraved rhythm. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with prominent bowls and tapered joins; the italic is not shown. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering logic, with clear differentiation between forms and balanced, open counters.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and book-cover typography where contrast and refinement are assets. It also fits brand marks and packaging that benefit from a classic, premium voice; for longer text, it will appear most confident at comfortable sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a polished, editorial feel. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing details add a hint of ceremonial elegance, making the face feel literary and established rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with flared, sculptural stroke endings to create a crisp, dignified display voice. It aims for strong presence and a refined texture, balancing tradition with a slightly carved, contemporary finish.
In text, the strong vertical stress and thin connecting strokes create a lively light–dark texture that looks especially sharp at display sizes. The pronounced tapering on diagonals and terminals contributes to a subtly calligraphic, chiseled impression without becoming decorative.
