A high-contrast serif with distinctly flared, wedge-like endings that broaden from the stems, giving the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Strokes transition from thick verticals to hairline joins with crisp, triangular terminals and lightly bracketed connections, producing a strong vertical rhythm. Capitals are broad and formal with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and sculpted curves, while the lowercase balances compact bowls with lively, tapering strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare, with pronounced stress and sharp, tapered details that keep them visually aligned with the text face.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired, particularly for display sizes and prominent text elements such as headlines, pull quotes, and section openers. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, traditional tone with a slightly dramatic edge.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a composed, authoritative presence that reads as traditional yet slightly dramatic. The flared endings and sharp hairlines add a refined, bookish elegance and a subtle sense of ceremony.
Designed to evoke traditional serif craftsmanship while using flared stroke endings and pronounced contrast to add visual drama and clarity. The intent appears to be a readable, formal text-and-display serif that projects authority and elegance through crisp terminals and steady vertical rhythm.
In continuous text the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a crisp texture and clear word shapes, especially at larger sizes. The flare at stroke ends can become a defining graphic element in headings, where the sharp joins and tapered curves feel deliberate and ornamental without becoming overly decorative.
