This serif face combines crisp, high-contrast stroke modulation with sculpted, flared terminals and wedge-like serifs. Curves are smooth and generous, while joins and terminals resolve into sharp points or tapered edges, giving the outlines a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Proportions skew on the broad side with ample internal space in rounds, and the lowercase shows compact, clean forms with a single-storey “g” and a straightforward, readable rhythm.
It performs best where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated—headlines, magazine features, book jackets, and brand marks with a classic positioning. It can also support short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable leading and not pushed too small.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, suggesting tradition and authority without feeling overly ornate. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast lend a polished, high-end voice suited to literary and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif model with pronounced flare and taper at stroke endings, creating a distinctive, chiseled texture. The goal seems to balance elegance and impact, offering a refined display voice that still maintains familiar, readable letterforms.
The numerals appear traditional and text-friendly, with clear differentiation and consistent contrast. In continuous sample text the letterspacing and rhythm read steady, and the flared finishing details remain visible without overwhelming the word shapes.
