A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and pronounced modulation that gives verticals strong presence. Serifs read as bracketed and slightly tapered, with sharp, clean terminals that feel carved rather than blunt. Uppercase forms are stately and open, while the lowercase shows compact, energetic shapes with noticeable stroke swell and crisp joins; counters stay clear despite the contrast. Numerals follow the same chiseled rhythm, with bold curves and distinct stress that holds up well at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, editorial typography, and titling where its contrast and flared details can remain crisp. It can add polish to book covers, magazine names, and brand wordmarks that need a classic-yet-expressive serif voice. In longer passages it will read more assertive than understated, making it a stronger fit for pull quotes, intros, and display text than dense body copy.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a dramatic, slightly theatrical edge created by the strong contrast and flared finishing strokes. It feels traditional and authoritative, suited to contexts that want elegance without looking overly delicate.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a more sculptural, flared finishing treatment, creating a dignified display serif that stays readable while adding character. Its consistent contrast and controlled proportions suggest a focus on elegant titling and editorial impact rather than neutrality.
Rhythm is driven by prominent vertical emphasis and lively curves, producing a punchy texture in text lines. The flare at stroke endings adds a bespoke, crafted feel that reads more expressive than a neutral book serif, especially in capitals and round letters.
