A high-contrast serif with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and crisp bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic logic: strokes swell and taper decisively, curves are clean and controlled, and joins often narrow into pointed, chiseled connections. Uppercase forms are sturdy and dignified with sharp apexes (A, V, W) and confident horizontals, while lowercase features compact, traditional shapes with a two-storey a, a ball-terminal g, and a pronounced, arcing ear on r. Numerals are old-style in feel with varying proportions and lively curves, maintaining the same contrast and terminal treatment as the letters.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other display settings where its contrast and sculpted terminals can read clearly. It works well for magazine and editorial design, book covers, cultural institutions, and premium branding, and can also lend formality to invitations or certificates. For long passages, slightly larger sizes and comfortable line spacing help preserve the crisp hairlines and detail.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial polish that suggests books, institutions, and heritage branding. Its sharp, tapering details add a hint of drama and sophistication, keeping the style from feeling purely conservative. The rhythm reads composed and literary, suited to elevated, formal messaging.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif voice with added sharpness and flare for distinction. By combining high contrast with tapered joins and expressive terminals, it targets refined display typography that feels both traditional and intentionally crafted.
Counters are moderately open and the contrast is strong enough that fine hairlines become a key part of the texture at display sizes. Terminal shapes vary between pointed wedges and small ball/teardrop forms, giving the font a distinctly carved, flared personality without becoming decorative.
