A high-contrast serif with noticeably flared stroke endings that broaden into wedge-like terminals, giving the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Serifs are sharp and tapered rather than slabby, and many joins show soft bracketing that smooths the transition from stem to serif. Curves are generous and slightly swelling, while counters are open and rounded, creating a rhythmic, hand-influenced texture in text. Uppercase forms feel stately and sculptural, and the numerals echo the same contrast and flaring, with oldstyle-like movement in the bowls and terminals.
Works especially well for editorial typography such as book covers, section heads, pull quotes, and magazine headlines where the flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for heritage, craft, or premium cues, and it is best used at medium-to-large sizes where the high contrast and sharp serifs remain clear.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a refined, ceremonial presence. Its flared, ink-trap-free strokes read as crafted and slightly dramatic, lending an authoritative voice suited to formal or heritage-leaning design.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more artisanal, flared-stem finish, delivering a distinguished text-and-display voice. Its consistent wedge terminals and sculpted contrast suggest a goal of adding personality and gravitas without departing into overtly decorative forms.
The face maintains consistent contrast and terminal treatment across cases, helping it hold together in longer settings while still showing distinctive, expressive details at display sizes. The combination of sharp wedges and rounded bowls creates a lively dark–light pattern that can feel bold in headlines without becoming blocky.
