A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel gently calligraphic rather than mechanical. The letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation, crisp terminals, and a steady upright axis. Proportions are on the broad side with generous interior space, producing open counters and clear silhouettes in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, reading as text-friendly figures with a traditional rhythm.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also fits editorial settings such as magazine layouts and book covers, and can support brand wordmarks that want a classic, premium voice.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a literary, editorial flavor. Its sharp contrast and flared details add a sense of ceremony and sophistication without tipping into ornate display styling.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif authority with a more expressive, flared stroke treatment, delivering a classic reading impression while adding a distinctive, crafted edge for display and editorial typography.
In the sample text, the dense strokes and pronounced contrast create a strong typographic color, while the wide set keeps lines from feeling cramped. The flared joins and serif shaping give strokes a carved, slightly humanist finish that helps maintain elegance at larger sizes.
