A high-contrast serif with tapered, flared stroke endings and crisp, wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than blunt. Vertical stems are steady and dark while hairlines stay fine and tight, producing a bright, elegant rhythm in text. Curves are generously rounded with pointed terminals and neatly bracketed joins, giving counters a slightly teardrop, calligraphic character. Uppercase proportions are stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and a clean, upright flow for continuous reading.
Best suited to editorial typography, magazine and book-cover display, and other contexts where a refined serif voice is needed. It can work for short to medium text in high-quality print or large digital settings, and it particularly excels in headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding where contrast and sharp detailing are assets.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a bookish, old-world refinement. Its sharp serifs and dramatic thick–thin transitions add a sense of ceremony and authority, while the flared terminals keep it feeling crafted and tactile rather than mechanical.
The design appears intended to evoke classical serif tradition with a more sculpted, flared finish—combining strong vertical structure with calligraphic finesse. It aims to deliver an authoritative, premium tone while keeping letterforms clean and legible in setting.
In the samples, the face holds together well at larger sizes where the contrast and tapered endings become a defining feature. The numerals and capitals carry a dignified presence, and the punctuation/diacritics shown appear crisp and consistent with the sharp terminal language.
