A high-contrast serif with crisp, wedge-like flared terminals and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than purely mechanical. The capitals are broad and stately with pronounced thick–thin transitions, while the lowercase shows a sturdy, readable rhythm with open apertures and slightly tapered joins. Strokes often widen as they approach terminals, giving a chiseled, sculptural finish, and the numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic with clear, traditional proportions.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and book-cover typography where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also support identity work for cultural institutions or premium products, especially when set with ample leading and breathing room.
The overall tone reads classical and editorial—confident, cultivated, and slightly dramatic. It evokes the feel of established publishing and heritage branding, balancing refinement with a firm, authoritative presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic serif authority, using flared terminals and pronounced contrast to create a memorable, high-end texture. It aims to stay readable while adding stylistic edge for editorial and branding applications.
Letterforms show a mix of sharp beak-like details (notably in forms such as the R, a, and t) and smoother curved bowls, creating a lively texture at display sizes. Spacing and sidebearings appear generous enough to keep the strong contrast from feeling cramped, while the flared endings add visual emphasis without becoming heavy.
