A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and pronounced bracketed joins. The letterforms feel broad and open, with sturdy vertical stems and sharply tapered diagonals that create crisp triangular terminals in places. Serifs are not slabby; instead they swell and pinch with a chiseled, calligraphic rhythm, giving counters a teardrop-like modulation. Uppercase proportions read stately and expansive, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation with compact bowls and a distinctive, slightly angular treatment of diagonals and terminals. Numerals share the same strong contrast and flared finish, producing a consistent, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine features, book covers, and packaging where its contrast and sculpted terminals can read clearly and add character. It can also work for branding and identity systems that want a classic serif foundation with a more expressive, flared finish, especially in larger sizes and short-to-medium text settings.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, blending classical bookish cues with a more dramatic, poster-like sharpness. Its flared endings and crisp contrasts add a sense of ceremony and authority, making text feel curated and intentional rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif by emphasizing flared stroke endings and crisp contrast, yielding a distinctive display color without abandoning familiar proportions. It aims for an editorial, premium feel with strong presence and clear, high-impact letterforms.
In running text, the heavy contrast and active terminals create a lively sparkle and strong word shapes, especially at larger sizes. The design’s sharp diagonals (notably in letters like V, W, X, and the z forms) contribute to a slightly theatrical edge while still staying within a traditional serif voice.
