A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation with relatively vertical stress, producing a sharp, glossy rhythm in text. Serifs and terminals feel carved rather than flat, with subtle bracketing and occasional pointed or tapered finishes that give strokes a chiseled profile. Proportions are classical with moderate x-height and prominent, weighty capitals; spacing reads controlled but lively due to varying internal shapes and tapered entry/exit strokes.
This typeface is well suited to headlines, subheads, and title typography where its contrast and carved terminals can read clearly and add personality. It can also serve editorial layouts and book jackets that benefit from a classic serif voice with heightened drama, and it has the authority for premium branding elements such as packaging or hospitality materials.
The overall tone is refined and assertive, combining a traditional bookish foundation with a slightly theatrical edge. Its high-contrast sparkle and sculptural terminals convey sophistication, ceremony, and a sense of prestige suited to upscale editorial environments.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif model by emphasizing flared stroke endings and sharpened terminals, creating a more sculptural, high-impact texture. It prioritizes elegance and hierarchy, aiming to deliver a confident editorial presence that stands out at display sizes while retaining a traditional serif structure.
In larger sizes the flared endings and sharp joins become a defining texture, while in paragraph settings the pronounced modulation creates a bright typographic color and strong hierarchy. The numerals appear lining with similarly sculpted contrast and distinctive curves, matching the display-forward character of the letters.
