A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sharply cut terminals. Serifs read as tapered, wedge-like flares rather than blocky slabs, with crisp joins and a slightly calligraphic modulation through curves and diagonals. Capitals feel sturdy and dignified, while the lowercase shows compact, well-contained counters and a strong vertical rhythm; the two-storey forms and numerals carry the same sharp, chiseled finishing. Overall spacing appears steady and text color is rich, with distinctive weight shifts that emphasize stems and hairlines.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as books, magazines, and long-form articles where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in display roles—headlines, subheads, and refined branding—where its sharp terminals and contrast can add sophistication and presence.
The tone is authoritative and literary, balancing elegance with a slightly dramatic sharpness. Its crisp finishing and high-contrast rhythm suggest tradition, ceremony, and polished publishing rather than casual everyday UI typography.
The design appears intended to evoke a classic, print-forward serif with a more sculpted, flared finishing to add personality and bite. It aims for a dependable text foundation while offering enough contrast and sharp detailing to feel distinctive in larger typographic moments.
In running text the font maintains a consistent cadence, with clear word shapes and emphatic punctuation. The design’s pointed terminals and flared endings create a subtle sparkle at larger sizes, while the strong verticals help keep paragraphs looking structured and composed.
