A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. Serifs are tapered and often bracketed, giving the strokes a carved, ink-trap-free clarity and a slightly calligraphic rhythm. Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned with crisp apexes and confident vertical stress, while the lowercase shows compact counters and decisive joins that keep text color firm and composed. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sharp terminals and smooth curves for a cohesive, display-friendly texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where the contrast and flared detailing can read crisply. It also works well for editorial branding, magazine titling, and poster typography that benefits from a classic yet striking serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing classical authority with a touch of theatrical sharpness. Its contrast and tapered endings add drama and sophistication, suggesting premium print traditions and a literary sensibility rather than a purely utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif silhouette with more expressive, flared stroke endings, creating a distinctive signature for display and editorial applications. It aims for elegance and authority while leveraging contrast and sculpted terminals to stand out in large-scale use.
In the sample text, the font maintains strong word shapes and clear punctuation, with a distinctly sculptural presence at larger sizes. The high contrast and narrow internal spaces in some letters can make dense settings feel bold and emphatic, especially when tracking is tight.
