A sculpted serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are taut and slightly calligraphic, with teardrop-like terminals appearing on forms such as the lowercase a and g, and a distinctive, lively tail on the Q. The capitals feel stately and compact with firm vertical stress, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and sturdy stems for text settings. Figures show strong presence and traditional lining proportions, with crisp joins and a consistent, refined rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where the contrast and crisp serifs can carry visual authority. It also works for editorial typography—magazine features, book or chapter titles, and refined brand applications—especially when you want a traditional serif voice with extra punch.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, combining classical bookish cues with a dramatic, high-impact finish. It reads as confident and premium, suitable for settings that want authority without feeling ornamental or decorative.
The likely intention is a conventional, text-rooted serif elevated for display impact: maintaining familiar proportions and readability while emphasizing sharp serifs, dramatic modulation, and characterful terminals for a more premium, attention-grabbing presence.
The design balances sturdy proportions with sharp detailing: serifs are pointed and clean, and many letters show subtly flared strokes that enhance a carved, engraved impression. At larger sizes the distinctive terminals and the Q’s flourish become prominent, adding personality while keeping a conventional text-serif backbone.
