A high-contrast serif with a distinctly sculpted, flared stroke modulation: stems and diagonals subtly swell toward terminals, creating a carved, tapered feel rather than flat, blunt endings. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with wedge-like entry/exit strokes that add bite in capitals such as A, V, W, and Y. Curves (C, G, O, Q) show smooth, controlled tension and crisp apexes, while the lowercase balances compact bowls with pronounced, tapered terminals and a relatively narrow, rhythmic texture. Numerals are bold and display-oriented, with strong thick–thin transitions and angled, serifed finishing details that match the uppercase voice.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, book and magazine typography, and display settings where its high-contrast shaping and flared endings can be appreciated. It can also work for refined branding and packaging where a classic, literary tone is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is formal and polished, with a bookish, editorial sensibility. Its flared modulation and crisp terminals lend an authoritative, slightly dramatic character—more suited to crafted typography than neutral UI text.
The font appears designed to evoke classical serif tradition while adding a carved, flared finish that increases drama and definition. Its intention reads as premium, editorial typography that delivers clarity, hierarchy, and a distinctive, crafted voice.
The design leans into sharp joins and pointed terminals, which heighten sparkle in text and make large sizes feel emphatic. Capitals read stately and structured, while the lowercase keeps a traditional, text-friendly rhythm without becoming soft or rounded.
