This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with smooth, calligraphic transitions and flared stroke endings that read like softened wedge serifs rather than blunt slabs. Curves are generously rounded yet tightly controlled, and many terminals finish in tapered, slightly scooped shapes that create a lively sparkle in text. Capitals feel broad and stately with strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase forms are open and readable with a moderate x-height and prominent ascenders. Numerals and punctuation match the same sculpted contrast and flared detailing, keeping the overall rhythm consistent across sizes.
This design is best used where its high-contrast, flared detailing can be appreciated—headlines, editorial layouts, book jackets, and brand marks with a classic or luxe positioning. It can work in short paragraphs or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing, but it will shine most in display and titling contexts where its sculpted terminals and contrast become a feature rather than a constraint.
The tone is confident and theatrical, combining classical bookish cues with a more expressive, display-leaning edge. Its sharp contrast and flared terminals give it a refined, slightly dramatic presence that feels suited to premium, carefully composed typography.
The font appears designed to merge traditional serif proportions with a more sculptural, flared finishing, delivering an editorial voice that feels both classical and distinctive on the page.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and flaring create a distinctive texture: dark vertical strokes anchor the line while tapered joins and terminals add movement. The letterforms remain clean and upright, balancing ornament with legibility, and the overall color stays fairly even despite the expressive stroke shaping.
