A sculpted serif with pronounced contrast and flared stroke terminals that widen into wedge-like, softly bracketed endings. Curves are generous and slightly calligraphic, with tapered joins and a rhythmic thick–thin modulation that reads clearly at display sizes. The uppercase has stately proportions and sharp, chiseled serifs, while the lowercase shows lively detailing such as a two-storey g, a curved, slightly descending tail on q, and a compact, serifed t. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and tapered diagonals.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, as well as book covers and cultural posters where a classical voice is desired. It can also support premium branding and packaging when used at larger sizes that showcase the contrast and terminal shaping.
The overall tone is classical and literary, combining editorial sophistication with a subtly dramatic, engraved feel. Its flared terminals and crisp contrast add a sense of tradition and authority without becoming austere, giving it a poised, bookish personality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif letterforms through flared, calligraphic stroke endings and high-contrast modeling, creating a refined display text face with strong historical cues and contemporary polish.
Spacing and rhythm feel measured and consistent, with capitals that hold strong presence and lowercase forms that keep an animated, handwritten energy. Diagonals and arms (notably in K, V, W, X, and the 4/7) show purposeful tapering that reinforces the flared character.
