A sculpted serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems broaden into gently flared, bracketed endings, creating wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals that feel carved rather than mechanically cut. The proportions are sturdy with a moderate x-height, wide bowls, and clear, open interior counters; joins and curves show controlled, calligraphic shaping with crisp edges and a steady rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals carry a dignified weight, with rounded forms kept taut and compact for a clean, high-impact silhouette.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and prominent editorial typography where a confident serif voice is needed. It can add polish to magazine layouts, book covers, and brand marks, especially in applications that benefit from classic gravitas and high-contrast sparkle at larger sizes.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, combining classical sophistication with a slightly theatrical punch. Its flared endings and high contrast give it a refined, display-ready presence while still reading as traditional and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif idea through flared, tapering stroke endings and crisp contrast, delivering a bold, attention-holding texture without losing traditional refinement.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at larger sizes where the contrast and flaring can be appreciated; the heavy weight and tight, sculptural details suggest it prefers generous spacing and breathable line lengths for best clarity.
