A high-contrast serif with broad, sculpted capitals and pronounced flared, wedge-like terminals. Strokes transition from thick verticals to hairline joins with crisp, angled serifs that feel carved rather than purely mechanical, and counters are generously open in rounded forms like C, O, and G. The lowercase balances sturdy stems with subtle calligraphic modulation; bowls and shoulders are slightly pinched at joins, and terminals often finish in sharp, tapered points. Figures are similarly high-contrast with expressive curves and a prominent, old-style flavor in shapes like 2, 3, 5, and 9.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, book covers, posters, and brand marks where high contrast and distinctive terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, especially when paired with a quieter text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion/editorial edge. Its sharp, flaring endings and strong contrast give headlines a sense of prestige and drama, while the open counters keep it from feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic serif voice: authoritative and luxurious, with flared terminals that add motion and a crafted, engraved quality. It prioritizes impact and character in display settings while maintaining familiar serif construction for readability.
Spacing and rhythm read as deliberate and display-leaning, with capitals that project strongly and lowercase forms that keep a lively, slightly calligraphic texture. The design’s distinctive wedge terminals create recognizable word shapes and a pronounced silhouette, especially in large sizes.
