A high-contrast serif with tapered, flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that feel gently incised rather than blocky. The letterforms show a calligraphic modulation with sharp joins and pointed terminals, giving counters and apertures a crisp, sculpted quality. Uppercase proportions are stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with lively curves and distinct, angled entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same sharp, flared logic, with pronounced stroke contrast and tidy, compact shapes.
Best suited to display and headline work such as magazine titles, book covers, cultural posters, and heritage-leaning branding. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes where its crisp contrast and flared endings can be appreciated without the texture becoming too busy.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, projecting refinement and tradition with a slightly dramatic, engraved flavor. It reads as authoritative and editorial, suited to content that wants to feel established and carefully crafted rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif proportions with an incised, flared-terminal finish, blending literary sophistication with a slightly dramatic, engraved presence for contemporary editorial and identity use.
The sharp terminals and strong contrast create a sparkling texture in larger sizes, with noticeable rhythm from repeated flared endings across stems and curves. In dense settings, the pointed details and tight inner shapes can add visual bite, making it especially effective where typographic character is desired.
