A high-contrast serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that broaden as strokes meet the ends. Curves are round and full (notably in O, C, and Q), while joins and serifs sharpen into crisp, triangular points, creating a carved, sculptural feel. Stems are sturdy and vertical with clear thick–thin modulation; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) show strong tapering and pointed feet. Lowercase forms keep a compact, readable rhythm, with a two-storey a and g, a small-shouldered r, and a teardrop-like ear on g; dots are circular and prominent. Numerals are similarly high-contrast with angled terminals and elegant, slightly calligraphic shaping (especially 2, 3, and 7).
Best suited to headlines, cover typography, and other prominent text where its contrast and flared serifs can read as intentional detail. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable leading and size, but it will be most impactful in display and titling contexts.
The overall tone is formal and commanding, pairing traditional bookish cues with a more dramatic, display-oriented sharpness. Its flared endings and crisp points add a sense of ceremony and emphasis, lending a refined but assertive voice.
The font appears designed to blend classical serif structure with expressive, flared stroke endings, producing a distinctly sculpted look that holds up in bold, attention-grabbing settings while retaining familiar letterform proportions.
Spacing appears generous in the samples, helping counterbalance the heavy thick strokes and sharp terminals. The design maintains consistent contrast and terminal treatment across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving it a cohesive, editorial-ready texture at larger sizes.
