A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and sharp wedge-like serifs. The design shows pronounced thick–thin modulation, especially in round letters, with crisp terminals and subtle bracketing that gives strokes a carved, chiseled feel. Proportions lean slightly narrow in the capitals with generous vertical presence, while lowercase forms are compact and steady, keeping counters relatively open for a traditional text rhythm. Curves and joins are clean and controlled, producing a polished, print-oriented texture in paragraph settings.
It suits editorial typography such as magazine headlines, book and journal titling, and pull quotes where high contrast and sharp serifs can be showcased. It can also work for identity and packaging that aims for a classic, premium voice, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where its fine strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial seriousness that reads as authoritative rather than playful. Its sharp serifs and elegant contrast suggest heritage and formality, while the flared details add a touch of distinctive personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, sculptural finishing, balancing readability with a distinctive, upscale presence for display-led typography.
In the sample text, the font maintains a strong baseline and consistent spacing, creating a confident dark color at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals appear display-friendly, with dramatic contrasts and crisp apexes that stand out in headings.
