A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and brisk, triangular serif shaping. Curves are taut and clean, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and crisp terminals that give the letters a carved, engraved feel. The uppercase shows sturdy verticals with elegant widening toward the ends, while the lowercase balances compact bowls with energetic, tapering joins; overall spacing and rhythm feel steady and text-ready despite the dramatic contrast.
This font suits magazine and newspaper-style headlines, book and report titling, and brand marks that want a traditional, premium voice. It also works well for invitations and formal announcements where crisp contrast and sculpted serifs add elegance. In longer passages it can read confidently, though its contrast makes it especially effective for display and larger text sizes.
The tone is formal and editorial, combining classical authority with a slightly dramatic, display-leaning sparkle. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast convey refinement and tradition, suggesting seriousness and craftsmanship rather than casual warmth.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, sculptural finishing—bridging traditional text-serifs and more dramatic editorial display styles. It emphasizes clean drawing, sharp terminals, and a dignified rhythm for authoritative typography.
Round letters (like O/C) read as slightly tensioned rather than purely geometric, helping the face feel lively at large sizes. Numerals match the letterforms with the same contrast and flared finishing, staying clear and assertive in text settings.
