A sculpted serif with sharply defined, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give the stems a carved, tapering feel. The letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp joins, compact counters, and a steady baseline rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often beaked, creating a pointed, energetic finish on arms and diagonals, while the overall proportions stay balanced and readable with a sturdy lowercase presence.
Well suited to headlines and editorial typography where high contrast and carved terminals can add presence and sophistication. It also fits book covers and branding systems that want a classical voice with extra sharpness and character, and it can hold up in short passages when set with comfortable spacing.
The tone is traditional and assured, evoking book typography and institutional print. Its sharp, chiseled details add a slightly dramatic, crafted character that reads as refined rather than soft.
The design appears intended to modernize classic serif conventions with flared, chiseled endings and pronounced modulation, producing a confident display-forward texture that still feels rooted in traditional print forms.
In the text sample, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a lively texture at display sizes, with punctuation and numerals matching the same crisp, sculptural logic. The shapes feel deliberate and formal, with an emphasis on clarity and impact over neutrality.
