A high-contrast serif with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and firmly bracketed serifs. The design shows a crisp, chiseled rhythm with pronounced thick–thin transitions, tapered joins, and wedge-like terminals that give strokes a carved feel. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture with compact counters and a controlled, even cadence across text.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, especially for titles, section heads, and pull quotes where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for formal print such as invitations or certificates, and for brand wordmarks that want a traditional, refined voice.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, projecting authority and polish. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast add a slightly ceremonial, old-style elegance that reads as premium and editorial rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end serif voice with a distinctive flared, carved finish—balancing traditional proportions with sharper, more decorative terminals to add presence in display and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and sharp serifs create a lively sparkle at larger sizes, while the tight inner spaces in letters like a, e, and s can appear denser as size drops. Numerals share the same engraved, formal character, with curved figures showing pronounced thick–thin modulation.
