A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, calligraphic construction and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with crisp joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation through curves and diagonals. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly condensed in rhythm, while the lowercase shows compact counters and a steady, traditional texture. Numerals follow the same contrast and terminal logic, giving figures a dignified, text-forward presence.
This style is well suited to headlines, editorial layouts, and book-cover typography where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It also works for magazine titling and poster copy that aims for a classic, authoritative look, especially at larger sizes where the sculpted terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a formal, bookish voice that feels polished rather than decorative. Its crisp contrast and shaped terminals suggest tradition and authority, suited to refined, high-end communication.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif through pronounced contrast and flared, calligraphic terminals, delivering a strong editorial voice with a crisp, premium finish. It prioritizes elegant impact and typographic authority over neutrality.
In the text sample, the font holds a strong horizontal rhythm and clear word shapes at display and large text sizes, with contrast that becomes a defining feature. The flared endings and sharp serifs add character without introducing overt novelty, keeping the impression conservative and composed.
