A sculpted serif with pronounced contrast and delicately tapered hairlines set against sturdier verticals. Stems and terminals subtly flare, producing sharp, wedge-like stroke endings and a carved, calligraphic feel rather than blunt slabs. The letterforms are generously proportioned with ample interior space, smooth curves, and neatly bracketed joins that keep the texture elegant in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals echo the same high-contrast rhythm with refined curves and crisp finishing details.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial settings, and cover typography where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also support refined branding and identity work, particularly for cultural, literary, or premium products, and works well for short to medium text when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, suggesting tradition and authority without feeling overly ornate. Its wide, open shapes and sharp finishing strokes give it a confident, display-forward presence suited to premium, literary, or institutional voices.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a sharper, more contemporary chiseling of terminals. The flared stroke endings and crisp hairlines aim to deliver a distinctive, upscale voice that remains legible while emphasizing elegance and presence.
The type shows a consistent, chiseled terminal language across rounds and diagonals, with a stately uppercase and a lower-case that remains readable while still feeling display-oriented. The sample text reveals a bold page color at larger sizes, with distinctive silhouettes and clear word shapes driven by the flared endings and strong contrast.
