A high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and sharp, finely tapered hairlines. The letterforms feel broad and spacious, with strong horizontal emphasis and clear thick–thin modulation that reads as pen-influenced rather than geometric. Serifs are crisp and bracketed, often resolving into wedge-like points, while curves show smooth swelling into heavy bowls. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, giving the texture an organic rhythm; numerals are similarly contrasted, with bold curves and delicate joins.
Best used for display settings such as headlines, decks, pull quotes, and cover typography where its contrast and flared terminals can shine. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, particularly in print-oriented layouts or high-resolution digital contexts.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, evoking bookish sophistication and a sense of ceremony. Its bright hairlines and emphatic thick strokes create a confident, attention-grabbing presence that feels suited to cultured, heritage-leaning communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical, calligraphy-rooted serifs—pairing dramatic thick–thin contrast with flared, sharpened terminals for an elegant, premium feel. Its wide proportions and varied widths suggest an emphasis on expressive texture and strong typographic voice over minimal neutrality.
In continuous text, the strong contrast and flared endings create a lively sparkle and pronounced word shapes, especially in mixed-case. The design’s wide stance and delicate connecting strokes favor larger sizes where the fine details remain clear.
