A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and flared, bracketed terminals that give stems a gently swelling, chiseled feel. Letterforms show rounded bowls and soft, calligraphy-like joins, with triangular/wedge serifs and tapered stroke endings that create a lively, hand-influenced rhythm. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and compact, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and slightly quirky details in curves and terminals, producing an intentionally expressive texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with strong thick–thin transitions and elegant, tapered finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short-to-medium passages where its high-contrast rhythm and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can add character to book covers, magazine typography, cultural posters, and branding systems that want a classic-but-expressive serif voice.
The overall tone feels literary and editorial, with a sense of heritage and a slightly theatrical confidence. Its lively modulation and flared finishing strokes read as crafted and expressive rather than purely neutral, lending personality without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a more sculpted, flared terminal treatment, creating an energetic, crafted texture for editorial and display typography. It prioritizes distinctive letterform personality and strong typographic color over strict neutrality.
The font’s contrast and flaring create strong word shapes and a distinctive page color, especially in mixed-case text. Curves are emphasized over rigid geometry, and the recurring wedge-like serif language ties the set together for cohesive display use.
